Re: beinnner frustration ...
no, i found that section, but was confused by it (sorry!) ...
it looked like a linux-style syntax, so i tried entering it at the $ prompt
in cygwin ... but it could not find the program ...
so i tried to find that program as a windows command (such as the .exe
extension would indicate) and i couldn't find that, either ...
a search of the windows box turned up no programs named xwin.exe ... so
there's no telling what i've done (or failed to do) ....
any ideas?
