The original problem still persists, but as it turns out, this happens
only on certain Xwindows emulators. Our SAS users can use a different
Xwindows emulator to get SAS to work properly. An emulator that works with
SAS turns out to be Hummingbird's Exceed Xwindows emulator. The only
problem with this is that this software comes with a hefty price tag.
I have spent several hours implementing the suggestions of various people
who responded to my question about this problem to no avail. The only
solution that turned out to work was changing the emulation software.
Thanks to everyone who responded to my query.
