 Well, make sure that you have /usr/NeWS in your path and use:

	babylon%  news_server020 

 or 

	babylon%  news_server010

 to start up either the 68020 or 010 version of NeWS.

 If you have a monochrome monitor, make sure that the device:

	/dev/bwtwo0

 exists among your devices (use MAKEDEV to create a new device if
 it isn't already there). The corresponding device for color is:

	/dev/cgtwo0

 Set the FRAMEBUFFER environment variable to tell the NeWS server how
 much of the framebuffer it can use. Here's my FRAMEBUFFER variable:

	setenv FRAMEBUFFER "/dev/bwtwo0 562 0 590 405"

 it sets up a NeWS buffer in the upper right corner of your monitor.

 Note, that with the <adjacentscreens> command, you can set NeWS and
 SunView up to run on adjacent monitors (running in Zaphod mode...).

 Anyway, this should do it. Most of this is discussed in the 
 NEWS_SERVER(1) manual page.


 ciao. Stefan
