Session startup

["Baum, Elaine I." <EBAUM at PARTNERS dot ORG>]

September 18, 2005
 
I have completed the installation of Cygwin from your website successfully and
would like to use it now.
 
The instructions I was given to start a session are:

            1.       Start Cygwin
2.       In the black window that comes up enter: xwin
3.       Start->Cygwin->xterm
4.       In the xterm that comes up enter the following sequence of commands:
a.       $ xhost +
b.       $ telnet mind-d2
c.       $ DISPLAY=theNameOfYourPC:0.0 ; export DISPLAY
d.       $ kde
 
However, for Step #2 above when I enter "xwin", the response I get is:
                    bash: xwin: command not found
 
The operating system I have installed Cygwin on is Windows 2000 Service Pack 4.
 
Please advise as to how I should proceed.  
 
I have checked the Cygwin User's Guide, but it does not seem to address
invocation errors.  Is there another document I should refer to?
 
Thank you!
