    Edge on the 3130 doesn't work with graphics, period.  However,
dbx does work on the 3130, sort of.  One of the main things you must
do in a graphics program is to have a call to foreground before opening
a window or dbx wont work.
    If you can afford to up grade to a SGI Personal Iris do it.
SGI never supported the 3130 from the beginning, so most of the software
bugs were never fixed.  The window manager, MEX, will crash if you
sneeze, and there are a whole list of other problems.
