More to the point, this would help the folks that use bash as their
interactive shell. I'm not a bash user, so the following may be
incorrect. Help?
=====
If I were a bash(1) user, I might put something like the following
into my ~/.bash_login file, instead:
export $MANPATH
MANPATH="${MANPATH:-`manpath`}:/usr/X11R6/man"
PATH="${PATH}:/usr/X11R6/man"
alias cfcl='ssh -X cfcl'
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/X11R6/man
export MANPATH
PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin
export PATH
alias cfcl='ssh -X cfcl'
(The PATH export isn't strictly needed, as it's already exported.)
=====
SL>Describe open_X11.
Describe it? I've never even heard of it (and neither has Google).
Help?
From the FAQ:
Q: How do I run X applications
from a Terminal window?
A: You can use the
/usr/bin/open-x11 script to launch X applications from Terminal.
Oh, good idea, point to the FAQ if you haven't already.
