What were you trying to do?
1. Type Capital letters in athena prompt using Caps Lock. 
2. Open a Chinese window with the command "CXterm -big5"

What's wrong: 1. No capital letter can be displayed using Caps Lock.
2. The Athena 9.2 system does not recognize this command.
(By the way, I tried different workstations. So it's not likely to be the
problem of a single machine.)

What should have happened:
1. The typed letters should be capital when the Caps Lock is on.
2. A window that displays Chinese and English should appear.
