Start X by using the startx command. When X comes up, you'll have xterm(s) available to enter whatever command you want. There are popup menus (right button). If you don't see what you want -- you can modify the menus to suit yourself. Be sure that /usr/X11R6/bin is in your path. -- Jay On Thu, 23 Jan 1997, Jason Wells wrote: ->Now that I have XFree86 running (or so I think) how do I run programs?
