You're right, Sindi.  Addding +sb between :rxvt and -g in
/usr/share/swm/internet.sh did the trick.  Now when I start links from the
menu, it shows up without the scrollbar.  Thanks for the tip.  Now I need
to get the font issue resolved.  I looked into the ftp client a bit and it
looks alot more difficult than I had hoped. ncftp is included in Slack
4.0, but it's missing a dependency and won't run on BL3.  tftp really
looks like the right candidate (very minimal), but I failed to locate and
precompiled binaries.  If it's the right client for BL3, it looks like we
may have to specially compile it.
