   Good move Steven.   :)

   I was able to subscribe immediately.

   The whole process too less than 4 minutes - including confirmations
and all that.

   What a difference from Topica !

That's an xterm.  If you have no ~/.xinitc file, xinit
will give you the following:
-----------------------------------------
xterm -geometry +1+1 -n login -display :0
-----------------------------------------

You can do anything you want in that xterm.  It's just
like the CLI.

Or, you can simply give the program name to xinit as a 
parameter.
--------------
xinit -e xeyes
