Well, I've got X up and running, and I found that Xview port I was looking
for (thanks Jonas!), but there are just two more problems I'd like to
resolve.

1) I have a three button mouse (it's cheapo Taiwanese "Agiler" mouse),
   but the server flatly refuses to acknowledge button 2.  Buttons 1 and
   3 do exactly what they're meant to, but I've got no paste selection
   function, which a bit of a problem!

2) The cursor keys don't work in vi under xterm.  Why not?  They work on
   the console, and tcsh interprets them OK even in an xterm.

Thanks for any tips,

Mark.
