6000 - Tosa / Is there a landscape mode terminal program for the 6000 ?

No joy with holding down the button...

BUT.... I did figure out one problem with the terminal -- I had installed an older version that I had downloaded from www.killefiz.de.
The one the comes on the CD rotates just fine...

No kidding!  I wonder what I am doing wrong, then.  I have installed Terminal and Qkonsole, and both work well in portrait mode.  However, when these come up, the \"rotation\" option from the Qt menu bar goes away, so I don\'t know *how* to rotate.  If I rotate from the menu and *then* invoke Terminal or Qkonsole, it comes up portrait and then goes back to landscape when I get out of the app.  
 
But then, I also still haven\'t figured out how to make the \"light bulb\" key rotate the screen -- the StartUp guide says it\'s *both* a light-dimming *and* rotation key, but it only dims/brightens the lights when I pushed it, and I haven\'t found a key combination that causes rotation.

Hi!  I just bought a 6000, and have been amusing myself by installing a zillion peices of old 5500 software.  So far, it\'s been pretty good -- I\'ve been running about a 90% success rate.

However, I was a little disappointed to find that the terminal programs I loaded would not rotate -- I had been looking forward to a console that didn\'t have wrapping or line-length problems!

Is there a landscape mode terminal program for the 6000 out yet?

Thanks for any pointers!
