gfox replacement for HP11.x connecting onto MPE

I'm trying to convert the following from 9.01 to run on HP11:

/usr/bin/X11/xinitcolormap -f /usr/lib/X11/gfox/colors -display @d ;/usr/bin/X11/gfox -ti 2397X -tops 0 -gops 0 -bitmapfont -ulCursor -title 'fidgfx001' -display @d -sl 975 -geometry 420x322 -e vt3k -t hp01

So far, I've got:

/usr/bin/X11/xinitcolormap?? -f /home/analytic/X11colormap/colors -display @d ;/usr/bin/X11/hpterm -rv -ti 2397X -title 'fidhs003' -display @d -sl 975 -geometry 70x24 -e vt3k?? -t hp01

I need a replacement for xinitcolormap if appropriate, that can handle the color file format.

This is connecting to an HP3000 - is hpterm or dtterm the appropriate replacement for gfox, will it create any compatibility issues.

"vt3k -a file -t host" is used to connect to MPE systems, although it may still be supported (this isn't VVOS), I can find nothing similar - vt won't work and I haven't got xnmvt3k (if applicable)

hpterm must display softboxes and handle a unique /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/ resource file.
