As far as I can tell you cannot. dpsexec is very simple -- if you have /usr/lpp/DPS/examples, you can look at the source yourself. It doesn't check for any X options at all. It's just a wrapper around calls to code in /usr/lib/libdps.a. Mike -- Mike Hucka | Internet: hucka@caen.engin.umich.edu University of Michigan AI Lab | 1101 Beal Ave., Ann Arbor, MI 48109
