Yeah, thinking of going that route, even though Xterm does look like =
crap and isn't really well integrated into the rest of OS X.

As a bonus, I'll get Erik's SIXEL support too..


What are you going to use it with?


I was actually just looking to get access to the editing + numeric keypad, which it turns out that both Terminal.app + iTerm have built in. So I'm just gonna stick with those - I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I _STILL_ haven't found anything so buggy as to be memorable in 5+ years of using Terminal.app.

It'd be nice if it did SIXEL graphics, though, but again, I use those maybe once a year.


If VMS, you can't beat "$ CREATE/TERMINAL" if what you're seeking is DEC
terminal emulation.   
With create/terminal you get into the fun of multiple clipboards again.


You need to setup a font server or copy the DEC fonts
to your MAc, create the font library and setup the path.

A simple, sane, user-friendly solution in the traditional Unix tradition :)
