Hello,

On Snow Leopard10.6.8 I have dislin widgets working well in a terminal window writing to device xwin. However, I normally develop code in the SciTE IDE. In that environment, dislin g95link runs but I get no display, only message 
<<<< X-Window display cannot be opened!
  *** STOP in DISINI ****
X11 is active on the Dock. Any hints on why this isn't working?

Thank you

And, metafl device 'cons' does nothing but 'gl' reports the same X- message.
The test program in fortran 90 which works fine from a terminal window is simply

program test
use dislin
call metafl('xwin')
call disini
call messag('hi',100,100)
call disfin
end program test

If anyone encounters this in future, the problem is with ScITE not dislin, According to its developer, on Mac OSX it cannot spawn an X window because of restrictions imposed by i-Tunes. The error message was singularly uninformative.
