The two most important settings are PATH and DISPLAY. You'll need to add `:/usr/X11R6/bin` to your PATH variable, and will need to create a new shell variable, DISPLAY, and set it to `:0.0` In bash, you'd do this: `export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/username:/usr/X11R6/bin` `export DISPLAY=:0.0` If you're using tcsh, you'd do: `set PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/username:/usr/X11R6/bin` `DISPLAY=:0.0` Be sure to replace username in the above examples with your own username. Now, after launching X11, you should be able to run commands from the Terminal window instead. Good luck.
