Finally, I am able to run twm(from a SPARC box, not a VMS version. Has anyone
ported twm to VMS yet?) to manage those DECWterms displayed on a VMS5.3 box.
There are, however, a couple of problems that I ran into:
1.) f.destroy - It destroied all the DECterms that I brought up, when I click on
any DECWterm. Note: It works fine on those xterms(brought up
from SPARC) displyed on VMS box.
2.) Occasionally, twm dies while 'Customize' DECWterm is running.
Does anyone have the same experience?
BTW, I customized 3 DECWterms with different attributes and saved
the resources file. However, every time I logined through Session Manager,
I got the same attributes for all the DECWterms since there they all read
DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULT.DAT. Does anyone know whether there are ways
to 'customize' DECWterm to read different resources file without manually
order DECWterm to read different resources file? Or what are the resources names
that I may use in DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULT.DAT to do so? Or using some kind of
commands to tell which resource file each DECWterm should read automatically?
In addition, I tried to put different fonts(names obtained from
or Little font was taken. Does anyone have the same problem?
Thanks in advance.

If you are on VMS 5.3, you can specify different resource files on the CREATE/TERMINAL/RESOURCE=filename command. I use this feature to create new DECterms with different title, icon names... Rick Beldin Atlanta CSC
