- I only tested the first method you propose and it's fine.
- This is also fine when I export xterm from
- other computers (sun, cray) except from an IBM RS6000, when
- I type [Ext Char][`], I reveived ascii code 252.
- I guess it's because of that stupid IBM computer.
- But this is not really important.
- Thanks a lot
