Nothing happens at all - and there are no dialog boxes hidden below any 
of the other windows on the screen.

But..... after some more tests this  morning after I got your mail I 
found that it ownership and permissions don't matter. So I looked at two 
existing tcedit.dst files in two directories - one worked, the other hangs.

The file which causes a 'hang' seemed to say something about Win32, the 
other one did not. When I renamed the bad one, so that there was no old 
file, it worked, although I don't get the usual splash screen. After 
exiting the editor, the tcedit.dst file had the X11 string as did the 
one that worked.

I did not think I had copied any desktop files from win32, and so I 
wonder how I got the "Win32" string in the one that hung or why that 
would cause it to hang.

All that matters, though, I guess my problem was my own doing somehow, 
but it is gone now :-)

Thank you for your help and patience.
