I didn't know what to do from this prompt.  If I quit, and started
dx without options, I had the same thing happen.  I also tried
"dx -script &", after which a "ps" showed I had a "dxworker" process
and a "dxexec" process.  So, since dxexec was seemingly running, I
tried "dx &", and had the same problems (main button window came up,
I chose Edit Visual Programs and chose my program (or chose a sample 
program), and got the error pop-up saying "Unable to connect to dxexec" 
and an error in my cmdtool saying 
"DXLStartChild: Could not connect using 'dx'".  
I still can't view my program.

Thanks for the rapid response.  Anything else I can do to troubleshoot
this problem?

Try and start the executive by itself and see what kind of errors you get.

dx -script
