OK, I managed to figure out what the problem was with that bash shell that kept comming up when I booted in a multiuser mode. It turned out that the "#!/bin/sh" line at the begining of rc.local was accidentally changed to "/bin/sh". My new problem is what I was actually trying to fix when this whole thing started. What is happening, is that in X there are certain programs that won't let me click on certain things. Some examples are: xman: can click on the buttons on the small window that comes up when it is first started, but can't use menus on the man page window. FVWM95 toolbar: can't click on any buttons, window buttons or start button. xpaint: can get menu's to pull down but can't hilight menu items. My system is a Slackware 3.4 system using Login.app instead of XDM. My mouse is a PS/2 mouse. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Shawn Craver
