XLF i/o buffering

[rab at tauon.ph.unimelb.edu.au]

Can anyone enlighten me about XLF's i/o buffering mechanism? It seems
that whatever file or device is opened, XLF buffers the i/o.  The only
(relatively) unbuffered i/o I can find is via the preconnected standard
i/o units:  0, 5, and 6. However, these are formatted units, and
line-buffered.

By the way, it seems that the X11R4 Xterm Tek4015 doesn't support a GIN
termination character. Is this correct?
