RM> If I can restate your request as: "I want to use MS Word to edit a RM> file that lives on my AIX machine." The obvious answer is to install RM> Samba on your AIX machine to allow file access from your PC. This RM> has nothing to do with X, rsh, or NFS.
CP> Yes, but I want Word to open on the XP machine editing the file on CP> the AIX box all when called from a script on the AIX box. The CP> user will be viewing an X seesion from the AIX box in cygwin, CP> execute a script and Word would then open locally. How about running sshd on your Cygwin box and have your AIX script run "ssh pc-host 'cygstart foo.doc'"?
