Grant;
Wow, that is very helpful.? I had downloaded xterm from
invisible-island.net and executed a ./configure.? I complained that I
lacked the Athena X widgets, so I paused on it.
I'm going to give this another try.
I'd like to thank all the kind folks who posted a response to my initial
question.

Really?? I'm interested.? How do you build
your own xterm?
Download and extract the source code.
Here's the configure command that I most recently used before teaching
Gentoo's ebuild about Sixel and ReGIS.? (The command is derived from
the ebuild I was patterning off of.)
./configure --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --datadir=/usr/share
--disable-full-tgetent --disable-imake --disable-setgid
--disable-setuid --disable-toolbar --enable-256-color
--enable-broken-osc --enable-broken-st --enable-dabbrev
--enable-exec-xterm --enable-i18n --enable-load-vt-fonts
--enable-logging --enable-luit --enable-mini-luit --enable-openpty
--enable-regis-graphics --enable-screen-dumps --enable-sixel-graphics
--enable-warnings --enable-wide-chars --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
--infodir=/usr/share/info --libdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib
--mandir=/usr/share/man --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
--with-app-defaults=/usr/share/X11/app-defaults --without-Xaw3d
--without-xinerama --with-utempter --with-x
The key part is "--enable-sixel-graphics" and / or
"--enable-regis-graphics".? I'm also partial to the
"--enable-256-color" and "--enable-screen-dumps".
The screen dumps mean that XTerm will save XHTML and / or XML dumps.
Meaning they are text that you can search / copy paste. }:-)
P.S.? My messages to cctech don't seem to be going through.? So I'm
re-replying to the message to cctalk.
