Thanks, it works a little better now. This is what I put at the end of my .xinitrc file:
xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
#xset b off &
#xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
#xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login &
#exec enlightenment
exec twm
and below is the response at the terminal.
It does put an xterm up that I can move.
1) Does anyone know how to fix the errors below?
Am I supposed to have a .Xauthority file in my local directory?
2) Is there any way to make the windows served up by the X server
show where they are going when you 'grab' them with a mouse to
move them? I was able to move mine but it is a blind process as
I can't see where the window is going until I release the mouse button.
Thanks,
Chris

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.
Question 1) I can't seem to move them, or minimize them or anything except type in them.
This is because you don't start any window manager, see below. []Question 2) I just installed The Gimp, and checked to see if it is there byIf this happens, you need to issue a "rehash" command. This will refresh tcsh's internal list of all executables in the PATH. As you noticed, starting a new shell in a new window does the trick, too.
