I had discovered that command and I used it. It gets interesting. One program, called "fv" (FITS viewer--Flexible Image Transport System, scientific image format) throws up the dialog and then launches and runs normally. Another program XEphem <http://www.clearskyinstitute.com/xephem/> just works as always. Since these are the two Unix apps that I need most, I'll just leave it at that. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm
