     Well, I got the answer to my problem from the Geometry Hotline.  As
you may recall, whenever I tried to start the Workspace, I got a message
complaining that it could not connect to the File Access Manager.

     It turns out that my YP server is not a SGI machine, it's a Sun.  And
that machine does not have the necessary entries in /etc/rpc to make the 
Workspace work.  To fix the problem, add these lines to /etc/rpc on your
server:

	sgi_toolkitbus	391001
	sgi_fam		391002

Then cd to /var/yp on your server (probably /usr/etc/yp for pre-4.0 Suns)
and do a "make rpc".  Reboot your SGI, and the Workspace will work!

Gee, Beaver, everything that's fun can get you in trouble.  Haven't you
learned that yet? --Gilbert
