Xterm is a window package that emulates both vt and tek modes.
it does not need to be modified to accept cursor commands, that already works.
It can also be used to access otehr machines, eg. run kermit from an xterm
window.
You can even run another xterm on the remote machine, use the term package,
term and txconn.
