FilePro from Linux xterm or other terminal?

My thought would be to run screen(1) inside the xterm or whatever other
emulator you use, and then just use the vt100 termcap.  Since screen turns
any type of terminal into a vt100, it's the ultimate in portability.

And with detach/resume, you can have filePro open on your desktop xterm
under screen (multiple times if necessary), and then go home or to another
office, and do a `screen -dr` and *poof*, pick up like you never left, from
the new location, no termcap issues to worry about.
