If you don't follow the default SGI login procedure, you must type setenv XUSERFILESEARCHPATH `appdefpath` This is described in the release notes, section 2.3.1. If you don't have this defined correctly, you get gray windows that you must position manually, and the font is too big. If it is correct, the windows have blue-green backgrounds and reasonably fonts, and pop up in predetermined places. Bob --------------- Robert L. Brown Manager, IRIS Explorer Silicon Graphics, Inc.
