Re: Insight ?

[Stuart Allman <sea@cypress.com>]

It's still not working.  I put a SET DISPLAY=MYMACHINE:0.0 in my
autoexec.bat and it still doesn't work.  Do I have to have X11 installed
in order to make this work?  In the bash shell that comes up when I
click on cygwin it now echos back MYMACHINE when I try to echo $DISPLAY
command, so I know that it's set properly.  Is there any diagnostics I
can run to find out where insight it trying to send the "hello world"
characters?

Thanks,
