That sounds like lot of work to get the xterm (or whichever terminal
you have on the RPi) to display on your local machine. You should
just be able to pull up your Mac Terminal application and SSH into
your RPi there. Note that there are three core pieces in play:
1) your local PC and its display
2) a terminal emulator and a connection to the RPi
3) the shell on your RPi
It sounds like you're trying to run #2 on the RPi and have it display
on your local PC. You *can* do this, but it's not very efficient,
may not be very accessible, and as you discovered, can involve a lot
of work.
If instead you use the local terminal application and SSH from there
into your RPi, you should have a better experience all around.
Faster redrawing, better/native accessibility of the Mac terminal
application, and fewer worries about installing XQuartz.
Not that I want to discourage the learning involved with getting the
terminal to run on the RPi and display locally, as that's a great
learning experience. But it's not the first stop I'd suggest in your
journey. (grins)

Raspberry pi Model 3. When I reviewed the instructions I foound out
that I need XWindows or the Mac equivelent called X11. I then found
out that X111 had not been included with the Mac since OS 10.7. X11
is now a OpenSource Project called XQuartz. I downloaded and
installed XQuartz. I tried the instructions and nothing happened. I
could see that X11 was trying to connect. So, Onto internet

need to log into the Raspberry Pi with:
ssh -X (Raspberry Pi user name)@(Raspberry Pi address)
Some people say ‘-Y’ instead of ‘-X’, however, I see no difference.
I am not sure why Speakup will not work until I exit to the Main
terminal window by using CMD q to quit. Anyone have any ideas?
