Xginseng must be run under X Windows. After starting X, start up a Lisp process and load and start a SNePS session. Once SNePS is started, at any time you may execute the SNePSUL function (xginseng). This function will load all the necessary files and create four XGinseng windows. As each new window is created, its ``ghost'' will appear under the cursor. Place it where you like on the display screen by clicking on the left mouse button.
Once XGinseng is started, the SNePS session is suspended. Thus only one
process -- either SNePS or XGinseng -- may be running at one
time. Merely moving the cursor from one of the XGinseng windows to the SNePS
window will not change it to the active window as you would normally
expect from an X windows application. Rather, control must be explicitly
relinquished by XGinseng via the function (to suspend the
Garnet process and return control back to SNePS). See Section 6.4.1
for directions on how to use the function.
