Hi, y'all.

I'm a new X user, running R3 on a Masscomp. What I've seen looks spiffy
and things have gone generally smoothly. 

I'm trying to use xfig, but I've hit a problem. main.c declares XtDefaultDB
extern, but it isn't found at load time. Does anyone know where it is 
declared?

I tried commenting out references to it, and running the resulting program.
In general things work, but 1) I don't know how to make the Save/Restore/...
etc menu appear and 2) hitting M3 makes the program crash. Correct me if
I'm wrong, but I assume all this is related, i.e, if I had XtDefaultDB
declared, M3 would not crash but would produce the desired menu. Also, is
there a user's guide online? I couldn't find any documentation.

I also have an unrelated question. Is there a utility for creating 
images like those found in the directory, X11R3/source/core/X11/bitmaps
in the R3 release? I've been trying out some of the programs in the
clients, demos, etc subdirectories (under contrib and source), but there's
lots to look through.

							Thanks!
