Hi!
I am new to GCG (was using IG-Suite) and have a question concerning
the menu. The interface appears to be rather industrial, unforgiving
and generally user unfriendly. Is there an X interface, you know-
point-and-click kind, so that I could easily move around etc. Also something
that would automatically generate the plots from various graphic
programs. Now I have to remember all these extensions...
ThanX

The answer is a simple yes. However as far as I am aware, it requires seperate installation, and I'm unsure what operatring systems it's on apart from Iris/Solaris.
It is called gcgnav and you have to 'invoke' it after invoking gcg. You may also have to add the following in your .cshrc (assuming your using unix)
alias gcgnav '/path/gcg/gcgcore/script/gcgnav &'
GCGnav is a menu system with full use of the mouse.
Its quite neat (in my opinion)
To use graphics, type xwindows anyname anycolour at the prompt and a window should appear.
You may have to, depending on your machine/workstation give permission for the server to draw xwindows on your terminal/workstation.... refer to your system manager.
Hope this is helpful...
