RE: Re[4]: X11R6.x libs

Sure, you and anyone is most welcome to come up with any patches
for things i may have missed.

For starx if you get rid of all the command and put a simple line
for example

/prorag~1/reflectionx/rx &


this should execute your rs.exe which is your ReflectionX server
executable.
