Shouldn't that be "xset +fp /sw/andrew/X11fonts" - followed by "xset fp
rehash" -- [from 'xset help']

    To set the font path:
         fp= path[,path...]
    To restore the default font path:
         fp default
    To have the server reread font databases:
         fp rehash
    To remove elements from font path:
        -fp path[,path...]  fp- path[,path...]
    To prepend or append elements to font path:
        +fp path[,path...]  fp+ path[,path...]

Yes, it was a bug, and should be fixed as of our next patch (patch.004)
- we had forgotten to set things up so that the 'tour' help file was
installed - our appologies.

Thanks for the report - glad to hear that it worked as well as it did
(sans the font problem), and hopefully not too far off from working
better.
