      That line allows for 10 Mbyte shared segments - leave that line
in the file.  It was put there manually and is required.

Note that it has ignored your TV=beluga command since it is starting
the servers on bluemoon.  Is beluga in the the AIPS HOSTS.LIST file
and is it able to run AIPS also?

Note that it is running on bluemoon with display tunneling to beluga
through the pseudonym bluemoon:12.0.  This cannot handle shared
memory.  You can turn off shared memory in the .Xdefaults file (read
help xas for details) and run this way.  It would be better if beluga
ran the aips display programs.  A 2nd choice but better than what is
now happening is to run with TV=local (see aips man page or help aips)
