When I run sysmon in a pterm I don’t get the
correct “graphic” characters as on a console,
even if I set the TERM to qnx.
But strange thing, if I ditto from a pterm into the console
the sysmon output looks OK.
Could someone explain this ?
(and perhaps give me a work-around)

Workaround – use “phsysmon”, the Photonized version 
(you can snarf a copy at www.parse.com in the free section)
Explanation – setting the TERM to qnx doesn’t affect the pterm’s
interpretation of characters; it’s a hint to the applications
that are running that they should load up the “qnx” terminal
output control characters. If you want to use sysmon on a
pterm, you’ll have to right-click and bring up the pterm menu,
click on “Properties”, and set the terminal emulation to QNX.
Cheers,

Starting sysmon as
pterm -Q sysmon
did the trick.
Thanks to you who helped me
