@thomasadam I can't figure out why the Penguin Packagers keep trying to put some other terminal-like thing alongside #xterm, but then I do OK on FreeBSD with #piewm and #xterm and #emacs kinda like I did on SunOS and HP-UX in the early to mid 1990s.
I hack on freevt3k because it does two things xterm doesn't: HP terminal emulation and NS/3000 VT protocol. Freevt3k could be a LOT more modern and I work on that a bit.
