Thanks!
But ...a few more questions:

1. Start an X server--I run cygwin.bat. It looks OK.
There is a cygwin window pop-up and it has the following prompt:
User@IBM-E4029...~
$
Q: Now I have problem to start the Cygwin/w.
I read the Chapter 4 of user guide but still can not find a way to
start it. Would you please help?

2. Enable X forwarding in your SSH client.
I use SSH Secure Shell connect to the linux host. It looks Ok.
Q: How can I Enable X forwarding in your SSH client(my PC?)
I type "ssh -X -C bonds.MYschool.edu" under the $ in cygwin window
but get "bash:ssh: command not found". What should I do?
I check linux host by "cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config"
There is a "X11Forwarding yes" in it. Though I can not run it, but I
assume X forwarding is enabled on target machine(linux host).

Q: When I try to run GUI in linux, such as htmlview, I got:
" htmlview
No valid text mode browser found."
What's wrong?

Thanks!


>(1) Start an X server, such as the one provided by
http://x.cygwin.com/,
on your home PC.
>(2) Enable X forwarding in your SSH client.
>(3) Log in to the linux host, and run the GUI command from the command

line there.

>From your end you need to specify X forwarding, it's also a good idea
to
use compression so do the following,

/etc/ssh/sshd_config,
