I have loaded the root , its password, and built myself a user account as

Congratulations on getting the machine reloaded! I'm glad it all went
smoothly.
The CD load however disagrees with the release notes
on finding the Xinit
X-windows AIX application. So it appears I will be looking for a general
guide on navigating AIX,its tools, and applications.
Right now all I can confirm is that the N40 loads in the High Function
Terminal mode. (HFT) The release notes infer that I should be able to load
a windowed menu application from the command line be simply typing "xinit" -
this is not happening.
What happens when you type "xinit" - do you just get "Command not
found",
or something else?
Make sure that /usr/bin/X11 is on your $PATH; this is the directory where
the X applications live (prior to X11R6, anyway). If it isn't, your shell
won't be able to locate the program.
I will be looking for more web based reference
Material. Any pointers are
still greatly appreciated.
Well, you can start with
http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/resource/aix_resource/Pubs/
which corresponds to AIX 4.3.3. Remember that this will be somewhat
different than the AIX 3.2.5 that you are running. AIX 3.2.5 doc is
probably still orderable, if you wanted to do that.
