Bob:

Thanks for the info, as you can tell I am still an X novice.

I am still kind of fuzzy on this port thing still so here are a few more
questions (remember you volunteered ;-) ):

- If I start up an X client on another machine and display it on my
  machine (say an HP to an Apollo), does the information come through
  an IP port? If so is it this 6000+N port number you spoke of?
  When you mentioned display number, do you mean like 'bcara2:0' where
  0 is the display number or is there another display number I
  don't know about?

- There seems to be a lot of neato coolo stuff at EXPO, unfortunately
  we only have MAIL access to the internet and not FTP (yet), how can
  I get some of these things (e.g. Xtanks?).

Thanks for reponses (in advance),

Be Seeing You,
Alan
