Tom, You're welcome. 1) I've usually skip the "startupui" and have just used dx -edit, dx -startup, dx -tutor directly. I think if you specify -directory /usr/local/dx/samples/programs as well, these will come up using that directory. You may be able to set X resources to have the same effect. I am not the authority on these issues, perhaps someone who is can respond. 2) isn't right... not that I'm disputing your observation. It may be a font (or font color=background) issue. I seem to recall something of this sort happening before on linux. It may have been lesstif-version related? Perhaps you could search the mail list archives for this problem (if you already have, my apologies). Pete
