Epoch version 4.1
SparcServer670MP, SunOS 4.1.2
Standard Sun C compiler
X terminal displays (HP700RX, NDS, TEK)

We have several X terminals, mostly NDS, but one TEK and one HP
Epoch seems to work fine on the console, but the X terminals
display the 8-bit characters as a special character, which I
believe is the 0x7f character.  I checked the value of ctl-arrow,
which didn't seem to make any difference.  I wondered if it was
because the font I was using for the minibuf was an 8-bit font,
but changing it to a 7-bit font didn't seem to make any
difference.

Any suggestions?
