Hi there,

There are a couple of ways to do this.  One is using a command line argument.
Depending on your version of xmess it will either be -disk <filename> or
-disk1 <filename>.  I believe if you run xmess.x11 -showusage you will see all
the possible ways to specify this.

In addition there is a menu where you can pop up a disk selection dialog.  To
get to that screen press 'Tab'.

Hope this helps you out!
