Recompile the executables, run the sh scripts, all slowly and carefully until … nothing is wrong … everything works as it ought leaving me utterley flumuxed by what happened. Sorry for noise unless someone else encounteres the impossible. In all the above ‘aqua term’ worked (but you cannot set the geometry arbiturarily) ‘x11 term’ failed (but works perfectly now)
