Steve,

Glad to hear you like it. Our FTP directory has had a huge number of
hits since I announced it so I think there's real interest out there.

Both of these work perfectly for me on Sparc Solaris Poplog V15.53.
I wonder whether there's something missing in your environment.

E.g. do
	echo $pop_xved

That should give you something like

	+..../startup.psv +..../xved.psv

The relevant environment variables are defined in
	$popsys/popenv
i.e.
	$usepop/pop/pop/popenv

That file should be sourced as a result of your doing

	source $usepop/pop/com/poplog

Incidentally, at Birmingham we rebuild the pop-11 startup image to
include objectclass and rc_graphic, as well as converting all versions
of the editor so that the top row of function keys always does

mark start, mark last, clearhead, linedelete, cleartail, wordleftdel, wordrightdel,
	etc.

on all keyboards, whether you use Ved or Xved.
Hope that's OK.

Aaron
