I have been You should start THiNG from your xa_exec.scl file, using desk U:\c\thing\thing.app or wherever you have put thing. In your xa_setup.scl file you have to put export THINGDIR="u:\c\thing" export AVSERVER="THING " export AVSERVER="THING " Another thing to know: You can't use the THiNG version that comes packaged with N_AES. You have to use the partly limited demo-version, or you have to register to be able to use it completely.

Or maybe the problem will mysteriously disappear when starting your desktop from the xa_exec.scl file. Another thing to try: Disable the lines (if any) that autostart the programs in \xaaes\autogem\. You may find one or two "run" commands in xa_exec.scl responsible for this. > Oh, and speaking of Thing, the freemint-sbin RPM file is 37 > characters long, and a directory list from Thing just ignores it. As an alternative you can view such filenames in your Toswin2 window. Use commands like cd , ls, dir. If you become skilled in using the command line you'll be able to perform all kinds of actions wothout needing the desktop, and much faster. Or: You could try Teradesk if you need a desktop that can handle very long filenames. I hope you'll have everything running soon. The more goes wrong, the more you'll learn ;-) You will then understand why everyone in this mailinglist loves FreeMiNT so much ! -- Martin Tarenskeen
