  I am a new to X. I am trying to convert XLisp to run off of our
mainframe. I am trying to test my TCP/IP procedures by sending a simple
stream to a workstation (to open and draw a window). I am usint R2 docs but
the workstation ir running R1.. (both are X11). The stream that I get back
from the workstation is not what the r2 docs say it should be.. Can any one
tell me Byte for Byte what the reply should be after setting up a connection..
Or, if someone can mail me the R1 docs (postscrip or text) that would be
great..
   Please send replies directly to me.. Thanks..

I am trying to create an X interface to some compute intensive code
I have.  I have managed to figure out how to create and use menus and
such, however, I am having a bear of a time trying to develop
a graphical output for the thing.  Can some one help answer my Questions?

1) I have a graphical input mode that is very similar to Xbitmap1.c
described in the O'Reilly book on Xt.  In fact my goal is cannibalize
that code and include it in my stuff.  I have successfully gotten it 
to compile and run in my application but there is a hitch.  I would
like to have my main menuon the window at all times.  The 
bitmap editor is only to popup when I am in the main input mode.  I
would like to know how to create another shell for it that has its
own resources.  Remember, I am trying to use the Xbitmap code as a 
guide because I don't want to develop all that code myself.  So far
I have had no luck with this approach.  Is there a better way?

2) I will be creating several different windows to display my output
data.  The data will be 8 bit pixel maps. I think I can manage this.
However, I want to have several separate windows on the screen at once
so that the application is flexible.  This is very similar to the
problems I am having with the incorporation of Xbitmap1 into my stuff.

3) Where can I get the file for "The most Frequently asked Questions"

BTW I am using the Athena widget set to do this.  I believe in doing things
the old fashioned way - that is, the hard way.

Any help with setting up extra root level windows - or suggestions
pointing out other approaches will be greatly appreciated by me
and my patient management.
