- The fact that it's Xt-based has nothing to do with where it puts the
- scroll bar. Xt-based toolkits that provide the OPEN LOOK look and feel
- exist, such as OLIT and MoOLIT.

- Well, that depends on what you're looking for.
-
- Are you just looking for *any* "terminal-emulator" program that has an
- OPEN LOOK look and feel? If so, you may be able to use "shelltool",
- which does use XView, and is freely-available (along with the rest of
- XView), but may require some work to port it to your machine (you didn't
- say what machine or OS you had).
-
- Or are you looking for a terminal-emulator program that's "xterm"-like -
- e.g. one that emulates a VTxxx - but that has an OPEN LOOK look and
- feel? If so, I don't know of any that are freely-available, although I
- believe AT&T does have one that is presumably Xt-based, but that has an
- OPEN LOOK look and feel, and is presumably based on one version of their
- OPEN LOOK Xt widget set - unfortunately, I don't think it's
- freely-available (and I also think it emulates the console of an AT&T
- PClone, rather than a VTxxx, for what that's worth).
