[comp.sys.dec] X Application Defaults File on VMS

scottr@athertn.Atherton.COM (Scott Rasmussen) (09/19/90)

We use the HP Widget set (from X11R2?) in our application which runs
on both DECstations and VAXstations and others.  We are unable to get
the application defaults file to work correctly under VMS.  It does
however work correctly under ULTRIX. I think the app defaults file is
in the wrong place but I can't find where the right place is....

Here's what we've tried:

in the users default directory we have the file DECW$APPNAME.DAT.  We
are able to make changes only if we specify resources with one level
i.e:

*borderWidth: 4
*highlightThickness: 2

etc....

The resources are not taken if we use the following:

*BulletinBoard*borderWidth: 4 
*BulletinBoard*Foreground:  blue

etc.....

Any ideas....
