Well, I am new too but i think I can help!

Yau can easily solve the problem with the reverse screen, by typing mac
instead than vt220 or vt110 at the terminal prompt. Then you can 
configure your .login file to automatically set this terminal.

They work nicely but remember to insatll the special SE/30 xserver (see 
the FAQ).

using cpin and cpout is very easiy, just put the files you want to 
trasnfer to the same directory of the installer and then type in the 
minishell:

cpin macfilename bsdfilename

This is going to copy the file named macfilename from the installer 
directory to the root directory of the unix filesystem with the name 
'bsdfilename'

You can naturally use different pathname to copy in different directory.

I hope I solved you problems.
