Hi all,

I think I know what is going on. Turns out xTerm does not start when
using X forwarding. It seems that HP-UX XTerm is compiled against the
X11R5 libraries instead of X11R6.x. According to HP, this could be the
problem. I will call HP support back tomorrow to see if tehre is a patch
for HP-UX 11.0 like there is for HP-UX 11.11 (PHCO_24836).

Later,
Steven
