Message-ID: <8808122213.AA08893@tityus.athena.com> Date: 12 Aug 88 22:13:48 GMT Sender: daemon@bloom-beacon.MIT.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 27 Thank you for your response. I now fully understand. I should have said "registered" with the display rather than "created", now it all makes sense. The problems that I was having were from something a little more obscure than my initial reading - three display connections being used (somewhat at random). On a different matter, when I was back in Mass. at DECwindows class the instructor mentioned that MIT has all the X docs bound and for sale in the microcomputer lab. I tried to get down there before leaving but didn't make it through the traffic. Is there a way to order the bound version through the mail?? Waiting on O'Reilly to get their information bound has been some time, and I am already the top user of the laserprinter here at work. Also, how can I find out more about the scope/intent of Project Athena?? Lastly, it must be great to see your work on X windows gain so much recognition and acceptance by so vast an audience. Congratulations! -Jim Becker
