Thanks a lot for your help, David.
I tried the following but was not able to connect the UI to the
running server:
> ddd dxui
..... once it runs, I set up some break points and tehn hit "run" to
start the dx server
> dx -uionly
..... I then try to connect to the existing running server but have no
idea which port I should connect to (the default 1900 does not
work)
Please advise and thank you very much for your help and patience!
