System name:		mozart
Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.0B (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	Start up xmitdir from .startup.X with the line

	xmitdir -fg black -bg LightSkyBlue &

What's wrong:
	The program never started up and the console window gave the message
	"Can't Open display"

What should have happened:
	The program should have started.  I use this application at least
	10 times per day and am lost without it.  (Although I know that
	I can always use the finger @mitdir command, this is nowhere near
	as convenient)

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	[Please replace this line with your information.]
