No, I have the following in my ~/.olvwmrc file

R7  { Goto: '1' }
R1  { Goto: '2' }
R2  { Goto: '3' }
R3 { Goto: '4' }
R4 { Goto: '5' }

These keys only work when input focus is on a client, they do not work
when the focus/pointer is over the root.

If you want to detect when someone presses select on a message item, you
can just install your own event handler.  Messages get events just like
buttons do, but by default they don't do anything.

In sec. 5.3 we have:
    The showpage operator is permitted in EPS files.... It is the including
    document's responsibility to disable  showpage if needed.
    (there's an example of how to do this)

One example has
	%%Pages: 0
but no %%Page 0 0 comment, ass one would expect.

The comment %%Pages is not specifically permitted, however.

I think a good general rule is to avoid having %%Page: comments for
an illustration intended only to be included on a page.
If nothing else, giving it a separate %%Page comment defeats the purpose
of the %%Page: comments, since the comment will not start a new page.

If you're talking about setting the printer to non-Monochrome rather than
changing the default, you can do this from the menu associated with
the "Print" button on the main SnapShot menu. If you mouse the "Print"
button using the _right_ mouse button, you'll be given the opportunity
to set options. The left mouse button just prints the snap, of course.

does anyone know a clever way of disguising a PANEL_BUTTON as a piece of 
text? The reason I ask is that I have an application that has a PANEL_LIST
with four columns of data and a label at the top of each column. I would like 
to be able to sort the data depending on which column label the user clicks
on. Obviously I could just put a button at the top of each column but a 
piece of text that doubles as a button would be much more elegant. I could
probably create a new type of button using pure X11R4 but I wouldn't know
where to start.


Any ideas??

I've been trying to install x3270 under OpenWindows.  While the
process of installing the fonts is nicely summarized by Buzz
Moschetti in a posting from November, I have a problem not
anticipated in his discussion.

If I install the fonts in a working directory, and then add that
directory to the font path, then x3270 finds the 3270 font without
any problem.  But, if I install the font in $OPENWINHOME/lib/fonts,
with the rest of the OW fonts, both x3270 and xfd come up with
LucidaSans-Bold instead of 3270 for a font.  Naturally this isn't a
very good substitution, because the symbol vectors are radically
different.

Any ideas?  Barring ideas, where would I find documentation of the
contents and format of the table files Compat.list, Synonyms.list,
and Families.list?  Is there a definition document for BDF fonts?

I am considering purchasing Windows 3.1, but only if it will run at
a reasonable speed on my existing hardware.  I'm willing to add
things to my machine to speed it up, but can't justify upgrading to
a faster processor at this time.

What I have now:

CompuAdd 316s (80386sx, 16Mhz, 1 Meg RAM, 40 Meg hard drive)
Hyundai VGA monitor (very basic but good display - 480x640???)

I'm very happy with the speed of DOS applications on this machine
(especially compared with the XT I use at work), but am not sure how
much Windows would slow me down.  I am willing to increase the speed
of this system by adding RAM (maximum 4 Meg on motherboard), a
larger hard disk, a video accelerator, QEMM, etc., since I can add
these things gradually as my budget permits.

Primary use of this machine will be about 3 hours/day, with 3/4 of
that time spent on WinWord or a Windows-based PIM (I haven't
selected one yet), with the other 1/4 time running DOS applications
like a PIM called Arriba, and Quicken for my finances.

BTW, this PC has 3 full-size 16 bit expansion slots and 2 half-size
8 bit slots (all free).  I don't have a math coprocessor but could
add one.

Given the above information, am I likely to spend a lot of time
waiting for WIndows if I try to run it on my PC?  I'm willing to
sacrifice some productivity for the sake of being able to run some
of the Windows applications that don't have a DOS equivalent, but I
don't want to spend too much time sitting and waiting.  I realize
this is a subjective thing, but please give me your best opinion
about whether you would opt for Windows in my case, given that
upgrading to a 486 isn't an option right now and I have to invest in
either the DOS or Windows versions of a couple of business
applications very soon.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'm using vtwm (and like it a lot!)

I have a number of icon managers...can I construct a Icon-manager manager?

I can warp to the vtwm Icon manager, but I want to be able to find an arbirary icon manager...

Also is there a way to title the Icon Managers without Icon Manager in their title?

Here's some of the stuff I'm doing:
NailedDown {
        "Virtual Desktop"
        "VTWM Icon Manager"
        "XTerm Icon Manager"
        "xless Icon Manager"
        "xman Icon Manager"
        "PostItNote Icon Manager"
        "xvi Icon Manager"      
        "articles Icon Manager"
        "tin"
        "TWM Door"
}
IconManagers 
{
        "XTerm" "=300x5+800+5" 3
        "xless" "=300x5+600+3" 2
        "xvi" "=300x5-100+300" 2 
        "xman"  "=200x2-100+200" 2
        "articles" "=200x3-250+2" 1
        "Twm Door" "=100x3-200+200" 2
        "PostItNote"  "=300x5-150+150" 2
}
AutoRaise {
        "XTerm Icon Manager"
        "xless Icon Manager"
        "VTWM Icon Manager"
        "Twm Door Icon Manager"
        "xvi Icon Manager"
        "xman Icon Manager"
        "articles Icon Manager"
        "PostItNote Icon Manager"
        "emacs"
        "Virtual Desktop"       
}

and in my .bashrc file (I'm using bash)
function xless {
        for i in $@
        do
                xterm -name xless -title $i -e less $i &
        done
}       

function xman {
        xterm -name xman -title "$*" -e man $* &
}
        

function showarticles {
        xterm -title "$1@`hostname`" -name articles -e sh -c "scan -reverse +$* 
| less" &
}


function xpostit {
        /usr/marty/X11/bin/xpostit -name PostItNote &
}
function xvi {
        for i in $*
        do
                xterm -name xvi -title "$i" -e vi $i &
        done
}

I'm not understanding the geometry specification for icon managers...
in axb+c+d, what is b? (a, c and d make sense...)  b should be a pixel height, but numbers
like "5" don't make sense...

I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question, but I am curious.
I have been pulling a lot of X sources from the net, compiling them
and have been told that the following symbols are undefined:

	_get_wmShellWidgetClass
	_get_applicationShellWidgetClass

The program does compile and seems to run just fine.  But before I
"release" these on my user population, I want to feel a bit more
comfortable about it.  What are these?  I can't seem to find any
references to these symbols in the libraries, headers, or even the
programs that I am trying to compile.  Any information is appreciated.

For the record, we are running X11R4 on Sun SPARCs (SunOS 4.1.2) using
the MIT Xsun server.  We are also using mwm from the Motif 1.1.5
distribution.
