  There are several things that I was able to do on the 4.3 RT's that
  I have not yet figured out on the AIX ones.  Please RTFM where
  appropriate (specifying where to look would help, also)

  1. When you are using "lprbe" to print to a remote host running BSD
  UNIX, how do you tell it which printer to use?   I added the  alias
  "printserver" next the host I wanted to print on in "/etc/hosts" and
  the RT's hostname to "/etc/hosts.lpd" on the remote host.  I can
  type "lprbe filename" and it will print on the default printer on
  the remote host.   How do I get it printing on the other printers?

  2. When I run X on the RT running AIX 2.2.1, and I iconify a window
  and drag it around the screen, it leaves "turds" behind.  I can
  clear them by refreshing, but this seems kind of silly.  Is there
  something I could have set up wrong that causes this behavior?

  3. Some people who have the AIX RT's want to be able to use 3270
  emulation in telnet.  If I start it up with "telnet -e 3270 hostname",
  it will connect, but will lock up the screen and ignore any keys
  except for the telnet escape character.  Does anybody have "tn3270"
  running on their AIX RT?

  4. Why are there no entries for "xterm" (or "aixterm") in
  /usr/lib/terminfo?  I managed to add my own by taking them off a
  Sun and using "tic".

  5. I can open a xterm window from the RT on my Sun (X11R3), but when I
  iconify it and then try to open it, it disappears.  It is still
  there though, as I can kill my window manager and restart it, and they
  will show up again..  Sometimes, it will print "aborting..." on my
  console window and die if I click on it a few times.
