I hope this is the right group, anyway...
I have two problems running IslandWrite on an IBM Xstation model
130?  The Xstation boots from an IBM RS/6000 and then uses a Sun
IPC to login to and run applications.  It's running twm.
1. How do I set the cursor color on IslandWrite?  IslandWrite
resides on a server and is loaded over the network.  If I run
IslandWrite on my Sun Workstation, the colors are "normal" with
a black cursor.  But when I run IslandWrite on the Xstation, the
cursor is yellow and very hard to see.  I've looked at the .IslandWrite
file and tried setting the defaults in the .Xdefaults file.  No luck,
any ideas?
2. Under the Help Menu, in the help index the large text box, on the
right side, displays each letter in a mirror image.  Some vertically
symmetric letters, like A, o, O, u, and U appear normal, but the rest
require some mental gymnastics to decipher.  Got any ideas on this one?

Thanks for your help...Phil.
