Thanks for the response. I have done some more investigating and discovered the "resize" command in my .cshrc file. I have removed this command and the problem has disappeared. This output was in the xxgdb window and not in an xterm window as you had pointed out. >> Problem #2: >> ====================================================================== >> I have also tried to issue the "iowin" command to place program output >> into a separate window.

I have issued the "find" command to look for this program anywhere on my machine with no luck. I de-installed the package with pkg-manage and reinstalled it. Still no program. I think that the program is missing in the xxgdb package that I obtained from the ftp.cdrom.com site. Is this something that needs to be fixed in the packaging? I found some source code for the package at ftp.cdrom.com, downloaded it and tried to "make" it, but with no success. There is no make file, only an Imakefile. I investigated enough to get a makefile built with "imake", but the makefile produced does not build the xxgdbiowin program (whose source code is in the distribution). I compiled xxgdbiowin by hand and the program will start but will not talk to xxgdb which still hangs. The xxgdb that gets produced by running a make against the built makefile will not run at all. It shows an x-window being started and then terminates. I don't think that the makefile was produced properly. Anything else I can try?
