I've confirmed that xrefresh does not work correctly on the Ultras.
However, logging out clears the screen, so I don't see this is a major problem.
I'm not sure if this is an effect of the different graphics or some other
change in the Ultras.
Thank you for using Athena
Mike

:)What were you trying to do?
:) Change a keyboard on a Sun Ultra. (Or demonstrate how to

:)What's wrong:
:) The monitor is left with "Type "go" to continue", etc,

:) xrefresh turns the text from white to cyan, but leaves it

:)What should have happened:
:) There should be _some_ way to clean the screen back up,

:)Please describe any relevant documentation references:
:) Jhawk poked at the machine a lot, with afbconfig and
