See the FreeBSD Handbook section titled "The X Window System" for details, but you can probably type "xinit" (to start X) and then type "poedit" in a terminal window that will (probably) be started for you. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I don't know the program, but it looks like it only runs inside of X, so you need to have X actually running when you start it. Was this the case?
