The one I'm using on FreeBSD would probably work okay in Linux (actually,
hang on I'll boot up my RedHat box and try it) Yep... this works on both
FreeBSD and RedHat 6.x...

If some people running other versions of Linux, and any other OSes that
xt5250 works on could try this out and give me feedback, I'd appreciate
it:

! Something I did installed a file which turned off underLine
! and turned on colorULMode in my ~/.Xdefaults.  This, obviously, is not
! very useful for xt5250.  I wish I knew how this works better -JMF

xt5250.VT100*underLine: True
xt5250.VT100*colorULMode: off

Unfortunately, RH6.2 (which is the version of Linux I have at work)
returns a help screen that does NOT show "backtitle", but DOES support
it...   FreeBSD returns the EXACT SAME help screen, but does NOT support
it...  :(

Still, since backtitle isn't critical, maybe we should use your idea,
and if there are some versions of dialog where backtitle doesn't show
up, it's not a huge loss...

Sound good?

Thanks for your input... it's been very helpful!
