Dear Luiz,

Sorry for taking a little time to answer. Thanks a lot for your
translation work and I am happy to include the Portuguese language
file with the new CLX version 4.00 coming up very soon.

I have slightly converted the special characters to their HTML
pendants, so fox example message 99 now looks like this:

Desculpe, operacão de usuarios não permitida. Pse, aguarde.

This is to make these special characters show up correctly on a
terminal capable of displaying them.

If you find a lot of time, think about translating the help
files. They are in a specific file structure which you can find
under "~/box/info/help...".

This looks like a common problem of some Linux distribution that has
the virtual tty's in mode 600. All you will have to do as root is
changing the mode to 666:

# chmod a+rw /dev/[tp]ty[q-z][0-9a-f]

I assume that external commands are not working either because for
them CLX uses the same interfacing.

That is normal, because CLX does not see a PC18 after a certain
timeout period. All other configuration you have looks OK. Good luck!
