I have a couple of what are probably pretty basic questions. But our release of X-windows is so new that we don't have a user's guide -- though we do have manual pages. First, how does one load a raster into the background (the root) of the screen? I know how to load bitmaps, and I know how to change raster into postscript, but I can't find anything about changing a raster into bitmap, or loading raster or postscript into to background. Secondly, I would like to load specific things into my function keys. Using the "mapi" function in $HOME/.ttyswrc I am able to load functions into the keys in a shelltool, but do to the scrolling capabilities of the cmdtool, I prefer to use it. Is there anyway to make the cmdtool accept this file correctly? Lastly, there are some tools I had under Sunview that I prefer instead of the equivilent X-windows tools. Is there anyway to run these tool without getting the white outline around the icons? (I don't care about a white outline around the tool itself.) Thanks very much. Sean. --- Sean L.
