I have a couple of questions. I tested the description out via the clogin, and all worked as described for my local system. I then telneted over to another one of my machines and tried the PrintStatus, which gave me an error due to not having a local printer defined. I then tried cdman, sgihelp, and datman which all failed dur to not having the help files availible. I then closed that connection and connected to another machine, when trying the desktophelp command, I got the root window alright, but it was for the previous machine I connected to. I then tried the local desktop help on my local desktop, and the root window of the second machine came up again. I am wondering what would cause this behavior. How does the sgiviewer attach itself. Does waht I explained make sense to a person who know the software? I don't even know if I could reproduce the cenereo, but I am confused.
