Tom, Your solution was right on the mark, and you fixed another problem I had wanted to fix -- the 'i have no name' bash prompt. Thanks,

Your ID is the third field (separated by ':') on the line with your login. I was getting the same useless window that you are describing and this was what my problem is. If this is what's wrong, just change the ID to something < 65536. Tom Rice Boeing RTS-Comanche
