My .xinitrc file looks like below, and I put the messages printed to the OS-X xterm below that.
The .xinitrc is just a copy of the system xinitrc plus a few lines at the bottom from an example
on the fink help page at sourceforge.
It puts 3 xterms on the screen, each with black print on white background.

This is because you don't start any window manager, see below. []
If this happens, you need to issue a "rehash" command. This will refresh tcsh's internal list of all executables in the PATH.

This is OK. [copy of system xinitrc omitted]
This is the last line executed. The following lines will be ignored. "exec" does this, so want to have only one line beginning with "exec" in your ~/.xinitrc.xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 & xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 & xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 & exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login
