Xtext only > allows text output, not input.] Look at the Xtty library. This allows you to start up an xterm in a subwindow and read and write to it using a procedural interface. It is, to be frank, a dirty hack, but it's a useful dirty hack. Note that it won't work with the release 4 xterm without the fixes I sent out to the xpert list last month. I still have them if anyone needs them. If you wanted to write a version of this that doesn't use a slave xterm, please do. The world will love you for it. Note to the Berkeley xterm folks: did my fix to allow Xtty to work get installed into the distributed xterm? -paul asente asente@cascade.stanford.edu ...decwrl!labrea!cascade!asente
