Hi-

Some of the commands in my .login.mine file are producing errors after I
login:

These are the commands in my .login.mine file that are causing the problems:
 
xclox (which is an alias for 
	alias xclox  'xcld& xcla&'
	alias xcla   'xclock -a -bw 0 -rv -padding 0 -u  1 =108x100+917+748'
	alias xcld   'xclock -d -bw 0 -rv -padding 0 -u 60 =160x020+872+848')
xterm =80x24+529+1 -bw 3&
xterm =80x24+529+326 -bw 3&
xbiff&

====================This is what I get===================================

X Toolkit Warning: Cannot convert string "flagup" to type Pixmap
X Toolkit Warning: Cannot convert string "flagdown" to type Pixmap

===================================================================

Well, the change to Pixmap doesn't bother me (though I *did* rather like
the mailbox picture rather than the stacking bins I now get), but the picture
does not alert me when I get mail.

How can I set the xterm and xclox commands in my .login.mine file so that
they pop up on the screen?

		THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP!
