What terminal emulator do you use ?
makecheck: On the Mac, I use MacTelnet, even as a local terminal.  It has an almost ridiculous number of features (compared to Terminal.app or iTerm, anyway), and is very configurable.  The main problems are that it is mainly vt100/partial-xterm, and is a beta.On Linux or Solaris, I use "aterm".  It works as well as xterm or rxvt.  But it has a lot of nice interface tweaks, such as NeXT-style scrollbars, pseudo-transparency, more intelligent text selection (IMHO), and a way to change colors when inactive.On Windows, I don't run much locally (since not a lot of useful command-line tools come with Windows).  So my terminal work tends to be over SSH to a machine that has real tools. :)  I use PuTTY for SSH, and it works very well.  My main issue is that it seems unnecessarily hard to do certain things, e.g. copy/paste.
