Please forgive me if this is a frequently asked question, but I have been
using X-Windows for only a relatively short time and have not been a regular
reader of this group. My question regards the behavior of xterm as implemented
on the Stardent (Stellar) GS-2000, running X Version 11, Release 3.

As I understand the documentation, the xterm default behavior is to emulate
a VT102 terminal. In particular, xterm uses an 'alternate screen' when starting
up vi, so that upon exiting from vi the user sees the screen as it was before
starting vi. I find this disconcerting and would like to disable this feature,
if possible. The documentation seems to indicate that invoking xterm via:

xterm -xrm 'xterm*TiteInhibit: true' &

from another xterm (for example, the console window) should start an xterm with
alternate screen use disabled, but in fact it does not. My question is: should
the above invocation of xterm do what I want? If not, what (if anything) should
I do instead?
