Anyway, I'm at work now, so this is from memory. First of all, you need to be running the X Server (maybe just called X11). If you haven't already, you may need to go back to your installation media to install it, since it is an optional install. When you run it (start it the same way you would start any normal MacOS X app), it will bring up an xterm shell window. If you start pan from that window, it should work (DISPLAY should be set properly in that shell window). You may need to give the full pathname. So if I remember correctly, MacPorts puts things in /opt/local/bin, so that would be /opt/local/bin/pan. There are ways to start things up from a menu in the X11 app but I can't remember how to do that at the moment. Maybe this weekend... It's also possible to start it up from the standard MacOS "terminal" shell window, but then you have to set DISPLAY yourself, IIRC. -- David
