                     80: server presently does not have a backing store implemented.
                     81: This causes a tools to redraw itself in X environments
                     82: whenever a new section of the tool is exposed due to a rearrangement
                     83: of windows by the window manager.
                     84: In X, the tools may wait indefinitely if a window manager is not running
                     85: and a geometry specification argument is not given when the tool is started.
                     86: .PP
                     87: Every tool under \fIsuntools\fR(1) requires a separate process to maintain the border.

                     91: and
                     92: .IR sam )
                     93: check the environment variable

                     95: to determine the name of the companion process.
                     96: In these tools,
                     97: .F TERM
                     98: should be set to
                     99: .I sun
                    100: or
                    101: .I xterm
