The login box came up as it always did, with a few DECterms, from which
I did SET HOST/LAT to other machines. I didn't start TCPIP, because of
fear of the SMTP upgrade (which turned out to be unfounded).
Yes, I did shut down TCPIP and then try restarting DECwindows. The
problem is still there.

Yes, but it produced no major changes. I also RELOADED THE LAST WORKING
PARAMETERS and the problem was still there.

No.

I didn't start it because I wanted to wait until I had time to mess with
SMTP (see above).

No clues there.
