startx problem on Win-XP

[Charles E. Cooper]

I've also been struggling to get a useable windows system.
I use cygwin to log into Sun systems.

I tried the startxwin.bat method and get a window up, but it won't let me 
redirect remote windows back to my Windows platform.

         I then ssh into the sun machine
         setenv DISPLAY machinename:0.0
         textedit filename

as I can do when I use "startx"

I basically don't like the "twm" window manager, but haven't figure out how 
to start something better.
