Whoops, I guess I really have to clean up the HTML files on our site :-)
Most of this stuff was for internal demonstrations, and the scripting
stuff was an unfinished experiment. It doesn't work for you because you must
have the demonstration Xmap program locally. But, yes, the intent of the

to do lots of complicated and neat things... In this case, the script
tries to start up another process.
