Ok, let's assume that you have MacX working to the extent that you can
put a DECterm up on your Mac's screen (I'm assuming that you're under VMS
from the "vax" in your e-mail address). Your basic options are:
1. Set the DECterm to (at least) VT240 mode. Then give the command
"REGIS" and answer the questions. From that point on, all of your graphics
will just pop up on your screen. This works for PHYLIP too.
2. $! from within the DECterm do:
$ show display
$! this should be defined (or you wouldn't have the DECterm up)
$! if it isn't, do the following or equivalent:
$ set display/create/node=macname/transport=tcpip
$! now set up an Xwindow display, answer the questions as appropriate
$ Xwindow
Previously I wouldn't have suggested MacX for the interface, terminal
emulators are easier to use, but with the coming of the long awaited GUI,
it will be a must. (Ok, MacX or eXodus or any other X server).
