  14. Hi,
  15.  
  16. I have just got X up and running on my Linux system.  I have a problem
  17. when I want to start more xterms from within the xterm term that is placed
  18. on the screen by .xinitrc.  I get the error
  19.  
  20. No available termcap entry
  21.  
  22. However, I don't appear to have a problem when I start xterms using the
  23. twm popup menu.  Does anyone out there have a clue as to what is happening?
  24.  
  25. Thanks in advance.
  26.  
  27. Ender
