Hi Robert.

How do I start a Cygwin window?  The Icon for Cygwin starts a Bash
Shell, but "xhost +" gives 
    xhost: unable to open display ""
I am missing something really basic here.

Btw, I tried "export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0", as well as "export
DISPLAY=localhost:10.0".  Both gave the same result.

Help?
