How do I set up resources on a VMS DEC Windows server? I need something like Jim Fulton's "Using and Specifying X Resources" for VMS. I know that DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT is similiar to ~/.Xdefaults, but I want to know the full search path that is used to resolve X resources. Is there an app-defaults directory? Is there something like XAPPLLRESDIR, XENVIRONMENT? I couldn't find anything in DEC's VMS documentation. Can someone either point me to where the documentation is or if it isn't published let me know. Thanks in advance, Alan Michels Alan Michels michels@ide.com ..!uunet!ide!michels IDE - Interactive Development Environments 595 Market St, 10th floor San Francisco, CA 94105

DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS is a search list logical that points to SYS$COMMON:[DECW$DEFAULTS.USER], SYS$COMMON:[DECW$DEFAULTS.SYSTEM], and SYS$LIBRARY:. DECW$USER_DEFAULTS is defined as SYS$LOGIN. Both of these logicals are defined on the logical name table DECW$LOGICAL_NAMES.
