guess you need to get xterm.1x.gz from xorg-x11-man-6.8.1-15.i586.rpm and put it at /usr/X11R6/man/man1/ since it is not in xorg-x11-man-6.8.1-30...., if you wish to use 'man xterm'.
The xterm manpage is not included in SuSE 9.3.
Except in japanese:

I don't know what to make of this: /usr/share/doc/packages/xterm/README "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here This is undoubtedly the most ugly program in the distribution. It was one of the first "serious" programs ported, and still has a lot of historical baggage. Ideally, there would be a general tty widget and then vt102 and tek4014 subwidgets so that they could be used in other programs. We are trying to clean things up as we go, but there is still a lot of work to do. If you are porting this to a machine that has problems with overlapping bcopy's, watch out! There are two documents on xterm: the man page, xterm.man, which describes how to use it, and ctlseqs.ms, which describes the control sequences it understands." rpm -ql xterm-200-3 /usr/X11R6/bin/Backarrow2BackSpace /usr/X11R6/bin/Backarrow2Delete /usr/X11R6/bin/luitx /usr/X11R6/bin/resize /usr/X11R6/bin/uxterm /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/xterm.termcap /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/xterm.terminfo /usr/bin/xterm /usr/share/applications/xterm.desktop /usr/share/doc/packages/xterm /usr/share/doc/packages/xterm/README /usr/share/doc/packages/xterm/README.SuSE /usr/share/doc/packages/xterm/README.i18n /usr/share/pixmaps/terminal.png I will say that though xterm may be the ugliest program in the distribution, it is one of the most important. It's the only terminal emulation program I use on a regular basis. The problem with omitting the man page (which I assume was an oversight) is that other apps often refer to it for instructions on how to set x-resources. -- Regards, Steven
