Did this and restarted the server with:

./startserver -webpage /usr/local/dx/java/htmlpages/Status.html -dxroot 
/usr/local/dx -debug -foreground

 No change in status when I try to execute something..

This was always writable, but no files are showing up here.

As I understand it, JavaDX provides an interface to the DX engine which 
generates GIFs that are presented via the applet as pseudo-animations.

There are no new images being generated in either the 'output' directory nor 
the 'htmlpages' directory.  Neither are there are error messages from the 
server indicating that there is a problem with
saving them to a directory.

Any other suggestions?

Harry the perplexed..
