Hi Aidan,
Thank you very much. I did as you suggested and I can now use
"tail -f " to view growing messages file in an aterm.
Because I am keen to learn, I have read up on the syntax you
suggested, and I understand most of it. I am, however, curious
about the ".xinitrc:16:exec afterstep" part, which chokes at the
"16" stage on my system. Am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks,
Geoff
