Hello,

I have been unable to duplicate the problem you reported with AutoCAD
not starting from Dash.  However, I am confused about one thing, and that
is that your bug report was sent from the athena dialup machine which
allows X connections.  Were you running Dash off of the dialup machine
and redisplaying back to another workstation?  That probably won't 
work very well, as Dash thinks that it is running on a DECstation but 
starting software on the local machine type.  

If this is indeed the situation, do other applications work correctly
for you?
