Dear David,

This is do to the fact that it is trying to connect via a socket

environment variable DXHOST to unix, and this may tell it to not use the
socket. You should be able to disconnect from the Internet at any time
after it starts.
Thankyou very much for your advice. Regrettably, I am still stuck.
The setenv command is not recognised by my cygwin installation. I have
tried the following alternatives in the BASH shell:
$ set DXHOST=unix
$ set DXHOST=local
$ set DXHOST=ahn-002
$ set DXHOST=AHN_002
(N.B. "AHN_002" is what i call my PC; "ahn-002" is what cygwin seems to
call it.)
I still get Xterm, etc. requesting Internet access. If I disconnect once
I'm up & running, I have to reconnect before opening a new Visual Program
or will DX misbehave.
Please let me know if you have any further advice.
