I can start up the X server using the "xs" command (which starts it without a Windows Manager) just fine, and can run twm and fvwm2 and mwm without a hitch. However, when I try to start the AfterStep Window Manager provided by the AfterStep 1.4.4 package, I get the following "CLI" output: **************begin of output copy*********************************** Creating ~/GNUstep Licensed from the MKS Toolkit. Copyright Mortice Kern Systems Inc.

If nothing happens after 30 seconds, please restart AfterStep! '#%a '#%ap/Library/AfterStep: No such device or address **************End of output copy***************************** I'm not sure why it keeps trying to create the GNUstep directory, since it is already created. I do have what seem to be the proper directories under usr/share/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep. I have no idea what the beginning of the last line means (the actual garbage output on the screen was the pi symbol and the spade symbol instead of # and % but I don't know how to type those). Any help would be appreciated. jdn - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
