  Hi,
   I have some more information regarding the problem of Mathematica. I get
   the plot problem only on the system console. If I use 'math' on my
desktop
   machine (OS: Microsoft Windows NT, connected to Tru64 machine via
reflection)
   I donot get any problems. I get the plot.

   I have noticed the following process is running on the console. I have to
kill the math session
   to get rid of this process. The following is the process info:

   kumar 4204 0.0 0.5 4.86M 504K pts/1 I 09:36:07 0:00.88
motifps -mathlink -link
mode ParentConnect

  When I analyse this process id with lsof, I get the following message:

  %/usr/local/bin/lsof -p 4204|more

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME

    Can any one test this at your site and help?

   with best regards,

Iam enclosing my previos mail:
========================

In PSI we are using Mathematica_4.2 on Tru64 machines(OS V5.1a).
  When the user uses Mathematica in the following way he gets no plot
  on the screen:

   % math
Mathematica 4.2 for Compaq Tru64 Unix
Copyright 1988-2002 Wolfram Research, Inc.
 -- Motif graphics initialized -- <------------------This should be Motif
and not Terminal

In[1]:= Plot[sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}]

    One can wait very very long. Nothing happens. The user has to kill
    the session.
    How do I start math in debug mode?

    
   Thanks in advance and with regards,
    kumar
