   Hello All,   
      
   I noticed that my MBSE system was complaining about X not being installed when    
   I was going into DOS using "mbsedos".  The problem is that the mbsedos script    
   was out of date.   
      
   I fixed it...here is my entire "mbsedos" script with my changes:   
      
   === Cut ===   
   #!/bin/sh   
      
   if [ "`whoami`" != "mbse" ]; then   
       echo "Only user 'mbse' is allowed"   
       exit 1   
   fi   
      
   # Save initial umask and set group read/write for dos   
   UMASK=`umask`   
   umask 007   
      
   # Run DOS   
   case $TERM in   
       linux|xterm|xterm-256color)   
       dosemu.bin -f $MBSE_ROOT/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf   
     ;;   
     *)   
        dosemu.bin -X -f $MBSE_ROOT/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf   
     ;;   
   esac   
      
   # Restore umask   
   umask $UMASK   
   === Cut ===   
      
   You'll notice I converted the if statement to a case statement as the case    
   statement does a better job of comparing strings.  Modify your mbsedos script    
   and that should stop an unnecessary error from popping up.   
      
   I'll commit this soon to the main MBSE Git repo.
