The "\n" sequences in the initString have to be real newlines.  It is
easiest to set the initString in your .Xdefaults file; in that case it
goes through a level of parsing that changes the characters "\n" to a
real newline.  If you want to set it from the shell, you have to do
this:

	xboard -initString 'new\
beep\
random\
'

Or do this:

	xboard -xrm '*initString: new\nbeep\nrandom\n'

I thought I had put this info in the man page at one time, but
apparently I didn't.

This warning is harmless.  It will be fixed in the next release.
