Thanks for your reply.  I had tried both of your suggestions.  

Both seem to give the same result: Xmacppc appears to start 
but without xclock and the three xterms which are the defaults.  
Instead, there is a blank screen.  Clicking on the screen brings 
up a menu which does not have an entry for xterm.  The menu is 
red, unlike the default menu, which is green.  The menu says 
TWM at the top, not tvTWM, but I never used tvtwm before, so I 
don't know what to expect or whether the color change is 
significant.  

Any other ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks again!
