Thanks for this and to others who replied. I've been so confused
by this that I dropped by the office to take a look at my Linux
(RH 7.3) box, only to discover that yes, I had been running
gnome-terminal there.

I've looked at the various options and decided that eterm looks
best and is easiest to get to the way I want, so I'm going with
that for now. Thanks for the various suggestions.

Best,
