Hi Rasjid,

Thanks for your further advice.

I performed following tests

On Konsole Window
===============
# man XWin
No manual entry for XWin

Which package shall I install to have XWin manual ???


# XWin.exe -help
bash: XWin.exe: command not found

# cat /tmp/XWin.log: no such file or directory


On "cygwin" window  (WinXP)
===============

I have no name!@M40G ~
$ man XWin
bash: man: command not found

I have no name!@M40G ~
$ XWin.exe -help        [ENTER] no response

I have no name!@M40G ~
$ XWin.exe --help       [ENTER] no response

I have no name!@M40G ~
$ cat /tmp/XWin.log
ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1024 h 768
winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning
Unrecognized option: --help
use: X [:<display>] [option]

*** snip ***
-screen scr_num width height
        Set screen scr_num's width and height
*** snip ***

In the absence of "XWin" manual, I make following assumption

To add "-screen  aaaxbbb" to the batch file.  The measurement in "mm' or in 
"inch' ???

Kindly advise.

Thanks

Stephen
