This problem has been discussed many times. Maybe it should be added
to the FAQs?

If you want to continue to use MacX, you have to "upgrade" from
release 2.0 to release 1.17. Unfortunately, release 1.17 has a known
bug and quirk of its own.

Bug: The Edit Command dialog box (in the Remote menu) doesn't work
properly in 1.17; you cannot set or change the host. You will
therefore have to create the remote commands using release 1.20.

Quirk: To display in color, you have to use the suffix :0.2 instead of
:0.0 on the end of the DISPLAY environment variable on the remote
machine (or after the -display option on the remote command). MacX
1.17 emulates a binary (1-bit) display if you use the suffix :0.0.

The bug and the quirk are easily worked around. I routinely use MacX
1.17 on my Centris 650 to run idl on a remote Sparc10.

I was able to get a copy of MaxX 1.17 for free from Apple by calling
their customer service number (800-767-2775), explaining the problem,
and sending them some proof that I had purchased MacX 1.20.

Good Luck.
