I am afraid that I am not following mush of this.

The xgterm business has nothing to do with the XAS TV display - it 
applies only to the TK (tektronix emulator) display used by TKPL and 
some verbs.  NOte that the message server also runs in an xterm.

Please send us all the messages that come out when you start aips 
including the command line you use and do 2 cases, one with and one 
without the tv=local.
