- This problem is the same one that people have been discussing w.r.t.
- rendering. If you have renamed your standalone next, e.g. with the
- Local... panel in HostManager.app, you must add an appropriate alias,
- which you can do by Opening localhost in HostManager.app. I don't know
- if that still holds with SLIP, but for a purely standalone NeXT this works.
