Thanks to everyone for the help with initiating X for the log-in prompt.
I changed the /etc/inittab file as suggested, and the X login prompt did
indeed pop up, only after logging in on the regular command line login.  In
other words, I had to log in twice.  Is this how it works??  Or did I miss
something crucial??
  If I exit X, it pops the X login again..  Upon initial boot up however, I
do have to login on the command line.
  Any suggestions would again be appreicated.

  I'd like to return the favour with disclosing some of my programming
knowledge, if any of you find this useful, that's great!!!

1.  Here's a PerlScript that is actually kind of scary, but there is a lot
of examples such as these out there..  Almost an invasion of privacy if you
ask me..

<body>
<form method=get action="files://c:/">
</form>
<body>

  This script takes a listing of your c: drive (MS-DOS)..  You can save it
to a file if you have control over you cgi-bin directory on your server, or
e-mail the results to your e-mail if that's easier.  But kinda scary don't
you think??

2.  A less dangerous script, but useful if you update your website often:

<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
  document.write("This page was last updated on:")
  document.write(document.lastModified)
</script>
<body>
