Ahh, the mist is clearing <g>.
Everying thig you wrote Chris makes perfect sensce, except for
one thing which throws me off beam and caused my original
question. The problem is this: For the freeware products like
TNTlite, I have to use telnet to initiate the session by setting
the DISPLAY variable launching xterm. The Linux box is 128.1.20.3
and the W95 box is 128.1.20.2. One day I forgot the syntax and
typed "export DISPLAY=0.0" instead of "export
DISPLAY=128.1.20.2:0.0" . But it still worked !! Have I come
across an undocumented feature or a bug ??? I use DISPLAY=0.0 all
the time now with different PC products ! Even with humingbird,
I've embedded the same syntax.
Apart from that, thanks for your input Chris, I appreciate your
time to compose a long message in this busy world.
Kind regards,
Tony Wells
