Check with Informix, I remember there being a bug in onmonitor in that it got
the screen size wrong and it was practically impossible to use. I.e arrow keys
didn't work and the menus weren't displayed properly. We had to go back to an
older version of onmonitor in v7.0 or v7.1 or something. It was a long time
ago and I cant quite remember the version numbers..
