	I am new to the X programming(environment). I am programming using 
Xlib functions/features offered by X11 (Xlibraries). I am not using any sort 
of widgets or toolkits for my application. 
	I succesfully compiled and linked a program (program is a simple
one, i.e to write my name in a rectangle). The executable program is upto
date (i.e without any errors). When I execute the program, I can succesfully 
connect to the X server. But nothing will be displayed on the terminal
(in the window).the control returns to the unix shell ( in the default 
window, i.e the window started by 'xinit'). For executing any program,
I am not sure whether 'uwm','xterm' should be running at background mode
or not. But even if they are running in background and if I execute my
program, the response is same as mentioned.
	For any thing to be displayed, the corresponding window should be
mapped(even the parents). But before mapping a window, standard properties
are to be set using XSetStandardProperties(.......) function (of Xlib).
This function has Argc & Argv as two of the arguments to be passed/specified.
These arguments are to be passed while executing the program (i.e command
line arguments). But I do not know the arguments to be specified, the syntax
/format of the arguments. I am not able to conceive this concept from the
book (Xlib programming manual, by Adrian Nye, O'Reilly Associates, volume 1)
	The program I have written is almost similar to the one given in
the manual (Basicwin program, page 77). 
	Please send your replies/answers/suggestions to the e-mail address 
given below.
	I thank you in advance for the help.
