HI
I am setting up some Tek XP15 terminals to run in a mixed host environment.
Apart from the usual inconsistencies with the <= key between DEC, SGI, etc 
the only major problem I am having is that 'endsession' won't work correctly.
There appears to be an error generated by the xprop part of the script where 
it is having difficulties with the DISPLAY environment (somehow the last 
digit is missing) and since it works with everything else I won't mess 
with this. 

I haven't had this problem with various PC X emulators (all awfully slow in 
comparison with the Tek's) which always disengage gracefully.

Has anyone come across this little problem (it may be due to the Tek ROM's 
which will be updated 'real soon' but might be something else).

If I start 4Dwm from a telnet session I have to kill the PS before exiting 
otherwise the screen is alive and well but needs resetting before any more 
logins can be made.

Obviously this is not strictly to do with sgi.hardware but it is a 
reasonable home for my question 8-)
Thanks
Neil
