- I use it on my Sun386i running OpenWindows 2.0 and it runs fine. The
- important thing is making sure you have your TERM set correctly when
- OpenWin is started (TERM=sun). Anyway, my invocations looks like this:
-
- shelltool -Wp 81 221 -Ws 977 565 -WP 782 103 elm &
-
- and this works just great.
