It sucks. The voluminous docs are uncomprehensible and for some reason,
known only to him and his therapist, he provides them in only .ps
format. Like everyone prints out all their docs as a matter of course.

When I do ^T w it says "...: xv 3.10a" But I'll try those. 

I experimented with unmanage for an x-terminal-emulator I
don't normally use. Worked fine, except that I couldn't get
the focus in the little window and it vanished when I changed
windows and came back, although the process was still running
in the background.
