This worked like a charm.  Thanks for the reply Toru.

(P.S.  On my DECstation 3100 I still have to kill the first Xserver process 
that is started when I execute xinit.  The initial process hangs with an 
reverse video screen.  After killing that process and re-running xinit 
everything works fine.  Anyone know if this will be fixed in 1.3.1?)
