so I think I do have the instruction for aquaterm. It is not a very nasty bug. I just have to remember to start aquaterm first... and the only bugging idea is that it worked once...

Ciao,
Stefano

  In my case, aquaterm opens automatically.  I did set in my .cshrc (shell script initialization file), the variable
PGPLOT_DEV=/AQT
I do know that aquaterm started even automatically even when I was building horae using the pgplot in fink as well.
