The proceedure you are looking at only starts up the basic X Windows stuff for 'vnc', but doesn't start up any of the applications (like Display Manager or FoxView). As such, it only gives you a 'desktop', available for applications to use. If you want a DM to start automaticly, you will need to add a line in the script. Add that line down around the end of the script. Depending on how you have your AW set up, you may have a DM pick available on the desktop by clicking with the right mouse button. Regards, William C.
