What happens when you type "xinit" - do you just get "Command not found",
or something else?
Make sure that /usr/bin/X11 is on your $PATH; this is the directory where
the X applications live (prior to X11R6, anyway). If it isn't, your shell
won't be able to locate the program.

Well, you can start with
http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/resource/aix_resource/Pubs/
which corresponds to AIX 4.3.3. Remember that this will be somewhat
different than the AIX 3.2.5 that you are running. AIX 3.2.5 doc is
probably still orderable, if you wanted to do that.
