 Great! This worked...almost. In supplying these args to xinit
 I kept getting error saying "too many args for chdir" which
 was one of the original errors I was getting. I added these args
 to X in my xserverrc file and that did it. I guess the confusion
 for me was Xdaniver says to pass -width <int> etc.. when it should
 be -W <int>.

 I already tried piping output through more but for some reason
 the pipe was ignored. I guess I will just have to read very quickly.
 By the way, does anybody know the options for -cc (color class).
 If I use -cc 2 as per docs I get default Xdaniver colors with no
 complaints from clients about not finding colors. If I use -cc 1
 I get a greyscale desktop but when I shut down X my xterm hangs
 and I have to reboot.?

 Thanks For your Help. I have now entered the world of X.
 
 Norman.
