Re: Windows Manager

Thanks Harold and Cary for the answers.

I have other questions...

Can I launch the remote program from a cygwin shell (cygwin.bat)
or a dos shell  (not a XWindows session, startxwin.bat) ?
I try it in both ways and the message "program: cannot connect to X sever"
is showed...
There is any way for configure the X and launch the remote programs from
a dos shell?

Thanks! Martín.
