- Well, I don't think the problem is OpenWindows. The shelltool probably
- just isn't setup right. But anyway, I'm running on Sparcs with SunOS 4.1.1
- and ELM 2.3PL11, but use xterms. I just startup with:
-
- xterm -T Elm -e elm &
-
- and this works fine. One question, if you just use: shelltool elm &, does
- that work?
