OK, I changed strategy a little bit. I started working down the startx path. I moved the .xinitrc to my home and ran startx from the bash prompt. It then complained of no .XAuthority file. I googled a bit, and found a reference to an empty file being OK. So I created one. This led to some progress, the window comes up, with the clock even, but when I click on anything it bombs back out with a message about fatal IO error 113.
startxwin.bat is still behaving the same... Wayne
