Dear METAFONT community,

I've tried to let show the mfw command with the following commands:
mfw <RETURN>
**\relax
*draw (0,0)--(0,150)--(150,75)--(0,0); showit; <RETURN>

This should lead to a window displaying a triangle. But all what I get, is an 
empty X-Window, independet of the background color of this window, which I've 
customized via *Background in my ~/.Xresources. Beside this, I also get no 
window, if I run mfw with the mode=proof.

I use teTeX with SuSE Linux 8.0. Does anyone have an idea, what mitgh be the 
reason for these errors?

Best wishes

Alexander
