Hi Xworld,
Is it possible to tell MWM (Motif Window Mgr) to disable f.kill (Alt<Key>F4)
for a particular window?  If so, how?

Is MWM available for FTP and recompilation or is it purchase only?

I was using it on a NeXT under co-eXist, but I would like to run it on
a sun, instead of TWM or TVTWM.

I have a question for any and all Motif users out there.  I recently switched
to the Motif Window Manager on my VAXStation 3100 from the default DECWindows
window manager.  While I really like it,  we had a CYCLE program under
DECWindows that allowed pushing the F5 key to cycle between all open windows. 
ALT-TAB does something similar under Motif but cycles through all icons and
open windows.  Does anyone know of a way to 'cycle' through the open windows?

Thanks for any help.

    Try adding the following key bindings into your .mwmrc file.

	Keys DefaultKeyBindings
	{
	...
	    Meta<Key>Escape		root|icon|window	f.circle_up
	    Meta Shift<Key>Escape	root|icon|window	f.circle_down
	...
	}

	You're welcome.
