Many thanks. This seems to work. Only moved the TERMINAL*.PCF files, and
 DEC$TERMINAL still seems to work, able to display the various font
sizes  that FMS can create.


Now, if I can figure out which file I should add the xset fp+ command
to, i'd be set.  Ever since they changed X11 from Tiger to Leopard, I
haven't been able to figure out which file to put X commands in so they
get executed only ones (as opposed to whenever a process is created)



It used to be that I kept typing DIR and TYPE when on Unix. Now I am
finding myself typing LS and CAT when on VMS :-( :-(
