Subject: locking iris

          Hello,
            I need help locking in my iris . When I run d.mon and
          trey to select the iris, I get,
          'Error- could not complete locking proccess for monitor
          <iris>. Lock file is
          /disk3/GRASS/grass4.0/locks/pc01/:0/iris
          Problem selecting iris will try once more.

           Any suggestions?

That message is common. What I dot't see is an error message after the line:

          Problem selecting iris will try once more.

This implies to me that it worked on the second try. Try using the
monitor at that point. I usually use the command "d.erase red" to
see if the monitor is responding. Or use grass.logo.sh for a more interesting
view.
