There are new instructions for setting the max screen size - there is a 
new file name for the information etc.  Mac cannot make a decision.

Copy $SYSUNIX/XASERVERS and UNIXSERVERS to $SYSLOCAL.  Remove the 
comment (#) symbol from the 2 lines in each which have the string -hold 
and then start things up.  The xterms will not go away when they die 
allowing you to read the error messages.  It usually has to do with the 
library paths.
