Can you enlighten me as why with wish shell would work fine locally,  
but not remotely. I want to think this through because I am guessing  
that there is some odd OS X thing going on here. There are actually  
two wish shells on my system (the first that I compiled for X11 and  
resides in /usr/X11R6/bin and Apple's wish shell, which is Aqua  
compatible and resides in /usr/bin.

I would swear that I had this working before. Although I specify  
which wish shell in my .bashrc file like this:

export GRASS_TCLSH=/usr/X11R6/bin/tclsh8.4
export GRASS_WISH=/usr/X11R6/bin/wish8.4

so it does not make a lot of sense.

btw... thanks for your ideas on this Glynn.
