[BL] BL3 and window managers

There is no xinit in BL3, I tried.

I need to get the arrow keys working on my XT keyboard before I can 
attempt to use swm menu.  But Kermit is working in rxvt.  PgUp and PgDn 
are not so I can't test scroll buffer.  

I needed to boot DOS with F5 (not autoexec.bat or config.sys) to get 
X to work on this computer.  It did okay on two Win98 computers but they 
may have had less in those files to interfere.
