Works for me. So....
1. Does this do this for dxterm as well?
2. What has started up this xterm?
3. Does everything look okay when you do character erases, etc.?
Sounds like your terminal type is not known or some such funniness.
(I am shooting in the dark here as I cannot duplicate what you are seeing
but wanted you to check some things out. If you are using the session
manager to start things up, try putting this into .X11Startup:
stty dec < /dev/console> /dev/console
) (I did most of my grad work in Lisp, so I am compelled to balance my
parens...)
