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!
