I tested the DXARGS specifically because this was the most
interesting and it worked with no problems (changed my directory to
my Desktop). Can you check it again? Can you check it on the command
line and see if it works? I guess, I should also know what you mean
by it doesn't work (mine made all FileSelectors and Open/Save dialogs
default to the Desktop folder I set it to.)
Remember you have to log out and log in each time you make a change
to the environment.plist file (its only read once at log in time.)
Can you set the -host localhost okay via the command line? You could
also try to set DXHOST=unix which will just assume a localhost but
not even try to look up the machine name.

David,
Thanks - this works as advertised ... mostly!
1. Setting DXMDF, DXMODULES, and DXMACROS in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
works just fine.
2. Setting DXARGS to change the working directory does not work - I
still end up at the root dir.
3. Also, I'd like to set host to localhost. (Otherwise ssh complains,
and I have to open a connection manually from VPE.)
If I set DXHOST (or add "-host localhost" to DXARGS) in
environment.plist, dx fails to launch. I see the launcher
progress bar, but it just goes away, and there's no dx main menu.
I *can* set DX*host in ~/.dx-ad, however.
Thanks,
Joel
