So I have it set to open X (which then fails, since Bennett> X11.app has already opened X), after which it can set DISPLAY Bennett> and so open xfig. Is that the right thing to do? This is a bit ugly indeed :) What is supposed to work (in the man pages) is open-x11 xfig (assuming xig is on the path). If you _really_ need to set DISPLAY, one could assume that DISPLAY=:0.0 open-x11 xfig would work.
The trouble is that open-x11 isn't very sophisticated: it won't pass an argument to xfig and so will only bring up xfig with no document. So, here's a better route:
open -a X11; export DISPLAY=:0.0; xfig I've created updated diffs for 1.5.0 and 1.4.x (attached). Bennett
