You need to use Apple's X11.app This should be located at
/Applications/Utilities/X11. If it is not installed, you might have to
install it from the OS X install disks as a special option (it's also
downloadable from http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/).. You
probably also will want to install the Developer Tools, because Apple
apparently assumes most people don't want e.g., gcc installed by
default. :-(
Once you find and run Apple's X11 (don't bother with XFree86 for now,
it's too hard to set up and use for a newbie :-), then you will get an
xterm window with the DISPLAY set up so you can run Matlab, IDL,
xemacs, whatever you want.
Also, you should probably consider installing Fink
(http://fink.sourceforge.net) if you want a nice way to install xemacs
and other Unix/X11 packages.

Hi,
You are right, but it was just an example, I couldn't open neither
Matlab, I don't know what happen with Apple because several software
are missing in my system, like X11 (I downloaded it yesterday), and
others like Zinio and Quickbooks. I reinstalled all the software, just
in case, but nothing, those softwares are not in the CDs.

Hi,
I am a very beginner in macintosh and in Panther, I have just
bought my computer, I would like to know if X11 is installed on my
computer or not, I can open a terminal in my laptop, but I can't
open gui programs, like emacs.
The emacs that ships with Panther has no X11 support compiled in. You
need to get it from the net if you need it.
Cheers
Stephan
