   The thing wrong with your file is the -font flag which expects to
   be followed by a file name for a font file.  e.g.


	   'gmacs -i -w =80x50-0+0 -font /usr/lib/sax/kaplcour.r.14'					

   -Michael

   PS.  As John told you, I was once a novice X user.  Now I am a
   former X user instead (still novice, though).  It can do a lot of
   stuff, but I found it very hard to get used to the way every
   twitch of your hand makes it run off and do 5 things you didn't
   want.  The only reason I used it in the first place is because I
   wanted to use APL font and it didn't work in Suntools.  Now I
   have an APLtool from Morgan Stanley and I use suntools instead of
   X and uwm.  Nevertheless, you are welcome to my .uwmrx and
   .Xdefaults files.
