Greetings,

Many years ago I did a project for a client. The had an application that ran in X, I can remeber how I fired it it up. I do remeber it was a one or two line in a script.

What I do rember was something like this:

X & xterm --display 0:

any tips on what I ca do?

Normally, you can just give the command and the app runs. However, your comments lead me to suspect you're trying to do that remotely, via telnet commands. If so, use ssh and you don't have to worry about the display stuff. Ssh supports X forwarding.
