Hi,

  I downloaded the PEX-libraries/demos yesterday and tried to run the two
demos that come with it (auto_box and beach_ball). With auto_box I get
the error 'cannot open communication channel'.
  Do I have to change the configuration of X11, or enable something when
I want to run PEX programs? Unfortunately I don't have the PEX user's guide
and the only thing the man pages say is look into this guide. There's almost
no online documentation about how to use it.
  I have a standard X11 configuration (FreeBSD 1.1.5, XFree86.2.1) and that
worked fine all the time.

					Thanks in advance, Jan
