Hello, I'm trying to start up DECterm in VMS _without_ using the session manager with: SYSTEM> spawn/nowait/input=nl: run sys$system:decw$terminal This gives me the following message: To create DECterms, use the Session Manager or call the DECwTermPort() routine from another process. What I want to do with this is to make my users be able to start up DECwindows applications from the OpenWindows menu, where a menu entry for for example the Bookreader is defined as "BookReader" rsh vax @decw_comfiles:bookreader `hostname` >& /dev/nul and the corresponding file BOOKREADER.COM on the VAX contains set display/create/trans=tcpip/node='p1' mcr decw$clock This works fine, but to be able to do it with the DECwindows terminal I guess I have to write a tiny program which calls the routine above, DECwTermPort, to create the terminal. Is this correct - and have anyone of you done this and is able to tell me how you did it...? Also: is there a way of starting up the Session Manager remotely? If I try to do so it dies quietly and leaves me waiting forever...
