I am looking for an alternative for xterm, because its popup menu
(Ctrl-Mousebutton) does not work any more and I cannot change the font
(size) at runtime.

I connect to Linux hosts, not VMS (any more).
I need a local terminal emulator, like xterm. But with the feature to
change the font at runtime, and of course a good VT100 support.

I have already configured NumLock as PF1 (edt GOLD), this is not the problem.

Another editor?! What a sacrilege suggestion! ;-)
No, I am happy with jed. I have just trouble with xterm.
