Hello all,

I'm new user of Mathematica 4.0 and I try to install a trial version on
a Linux network (for others users).
Unfortunately, I have the following troubles.

Apparently, the correct fonts are loaded (Type1 and X) but sometimes the
backspace key doesn't respond.
Instead of a backspacing it's just a spacing.
In addition, when this doesn't work, it is impossible to select with the
mouse one line of the notebook.
(instead, all lines are selected). In fact, I think that all works as if
the shift key was pressed during all operations but this is not the
case.

What's wrong ? Is it another option of 'xset' to configure ? Another
fonts to load ? Some Mathematica options to select ?

In advance, thank you very much.

Laurent.
