We seem to be doing a little ping-pong by email ... :)

Here are the results of a diff -u from my original and my modified. I  
tried to keep it more generic since your message suggested that not  
just Mac users may have problems. If we get feedback specific to  
other systems I'll add it to the paragraph and resubmit.

Thanks again Curt!

          2a. Download LessTif version 0.91.1 or higher or download  
OpenMotif.
          Follow the instructions provided, compile it and install it.
