OK that is helpful. I did as you suggest.
I must be dumb, however. From what you said I still can't understand
how to bring it up
and running. - or is there nothing that shows when it runs? Is it that
you see it's in
effect when it executes certain functions or code?
Somehow I'm wait for it to show like any program. I'm looking for a
banner that says
"Midgard" - terms and conditions etc... - a prompt that says "press
something-or-other"
to continue" maybe..
All I'm seeing is my friendly netscape browser operating as normally as
it ever does,
no matter what I type in the location line..
