It was me that originally asked the question, and for the record, I'm not
THAT much of a newbie. :P I found the error peculier(sp?) due to it's DOS
appearance as well. If however there was something entered as such, it
was not done by me. I d/l'd the RPM file from the Redhat contrib
directory, and ran the rpm -ivh AfterStep-1.4.5.2-1.i386.rpm. The process
appeared to go flawlessly, but as I said I got that error message when I
try to run it from my .Xclients file. I assure you I edited nothing else
on my own.(I'm chicken) :P My .Xclients contains only: exec afterstep
Thanx!
