(intuitive, ehh?) /usr/X11R6/bin needs to be in your path. (check .profile for your path) My favorite editor (my favorite, I happen to like it) is emacs and xemacs. It isn't all that easy to use at first, but it is designed to be readily learnable. If you want a REALLY easy editor, use ee (easy editor). You can use XDM to start X automagically, but I am about to try configuring that and can't help you there. 8-) -Spike Gronim spork@cncn.com "Hacker, n: One who hacks real good" --Computer Contradictionary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
