I have no problems at all with xterm or DECterm on Linux.  This is at a
customer site that's using WEENDOZE -- poor hapless sods -- and running
this Powerterm for terminal emulation.  

There is no WEENDOZE here.  Never had it; never will.  I have never had
a need that couldn't be realized on a Mac or Linux or VMS systems.  Why
do people insist on tormenting themselves with WEENDOZE?
