Hello,

In the example programs with clx, a host has to be supplied, eg as in

(defun just-say-lisp (host &optional (font-name "fixed"))

fo the menu demonstration program (menu.l)

In the documentation with poplog (which I am running it on - it includes
common lisp), it gives host as "unix" - which fails. I have also
trieds the machine name eg "dolphin", be an error message such as

;;; MISHAP - X-Error: ID 36 from display #<DISPLAY dolphin:0 (MIT X Consortium
         R5000)> should have b
        een a WINDOW, but was :WM_CLIENT_MACHINE
;;; DOING    :  (JUST-SAY-LISP "dolphin")

is produced.

Has anyone any idea what should be given as a host

Thanks
