 i tried both suggestions and it is still not working
for me (sorry ive been busy this is the earliest ive
been able to get to this)

when i use xhost +<server name> it tells me that the
server has been added to my access control list but
when i start the program on my shell it just tells me:

workshop: Can't open display, exiting...

and quits


when i use the secure method on my machine it tells me:

xauth list $DISPLAY
xauth:  creating new authority file
/home/vega/.Xauthority


but this file doesnt show up in an ls -a and i still
cant start the debugger from my shell. i am on a
dialup account using pppd if that is any help...

thanks for any help anyone can give me...
