The work around is to start Varkon in an X11.app xterm window.  Apparently there is a problem trying to start X11 from Terminal.app.

I hope this is the right place \(my apologizes otherwise\).

I'm new to Varkon, &amp; am enjoying using it very much.  So firstly, thank you all for such a great piece of software.

I'm having a few troubles but the first is intersects.  I'm working in 3D &amp; trying to intersect lines with curves \(later will be curves with curves\).   I'm using a kludge with the on\(\) command at the moment but am interested in a better way.

As can be seen in the example, the intersect is at the end of line not at the intersect with the curve \(where I'd like it\).

Cheers
Graeme

I'll attach a code sample.</summary></entry><entry><title>Use ~/.varkon configs dir</title><link href="https://sourceforge.net/p/varkon/feature-requests/36/" rel="alternate"/><published>2008-12-16T20:21:22Z</published><updated>2008-12-16T20:21:22Z</updated><author><name>Ruven Gottlieb</name><uri>https://sourceforge.net/u/rgottlieb/</uri></author><id>https://sourceforge.netaaea120f0bda3f3c9fe2ed881179563078becff6</id><summary type="html">Put all personal config dirs and files in a $HOME/.varkon config dir so users won't have to adjust startscript each time they upgrade.</summary></entry><entry><title>Decipher cryptic error messages</title><link href="https://sourceforge.net/p/varkon/feature-requests/35/" rel="alternate"/><published>2008-03-21T16:54:18Z</published><updated>2008-03-21T16:54:18Z</updated><author><name>Ruven Gottlieb</name><uri>https://sourceforge.net/u/rgottlieb/</uri></author><id>https://sourceforge.net866a2acbb93e0525ae5ca23c529c1d69fae4ac66</id><summary type="html">We need some way of deciphering the cryptic error messages sometimes emitted by Varkon.

e.g. What does "GE300 End angle or start angle &amp;gt; 360 Deg - \(GE 301 2\)" mean, and how can I tell which statement it refers to?

Either a document explaining how to find out what these messages mean, or better, more explicit error messages, like in the perl debugger, are necessary.</summary></entry><entry><title>list window</title><link href="https://sourceforge.net/p/varkon/feature-requests/34/" rel="alternate"/><published>2008-01-30T18:42:57Z</published><updated>2008-01-30T18:42:57Z</updated><author><name>rahayem</name><uri>https://sourceforge.net/u/rahayem/</uri></author><id>https://sourceforge.net7a7dcd517e76d442d01a1a4727ccc7d76de98b92</id><summary type="html">List window could be has many buttons to close/kill the current or all lists windows also to save/print it/them

It could show stuff like what is being loaded, or whatever, if that causes no refresh noise. Once everything is set up, the selection menu can be displayed.

The user can presently make a selection before Varkon has finished loading, and then sees the file selector window display some kind of funny refresh hash while it's setting up. Bad.
