An IBM 'Windows' keyboard works if I use the non-number-pad arrow keys.  I 
need to work on keyboard setup some more.

I can get to an rxvt without a mouse, but then I need to move the mouse 
pointer to on top of the rxvt to use it.

The mouse pointer starts in the center, but when I load the rxvt it moves 
to the upper left outside of the rxvt.

Could the rxvt be loaded in upper left so as to have the focus without the 
need to move the mouse pointer to the rxvt?  I see in the JWM menu only a 
size, not a location, of the rxvt.

If I move the mouse pointer off of the rxvt it still remains in focus.

Is there some other way to start an rxvt that is usable without needing to 
move the mouse first?

I am booted directly into BL3.50 (via loop fs.img) and then I chrooted to 
the old BL3 to dial with lucent modem.
