:X and NeWS are network based window systems. This means that clients 
:(applications) that are running on the local machine, and clients running
:on other machines on the network can manipulate windows on the server (host)

	Right.  X is not so useful unless you are networked to other 
machines.  IF you are networked to other machines X is *very* useful.  I
don't know about NeWS, but suspect it would have advantages over X in a
non-networked machine.
