I extracted the twm files from the contrib part of my X11R3 tapes and built it
with no problem. The bummer about it is that twm works fine except for the fact
that I cant type into any of my windows. What am ah doin wrong?TIA--

A few weeks ago, there were a couple postings about not getting keyboard entry in windows under TWM with XV11R3 on Sun's. Tom LaStrange posted a patch for the "infamous no-typing-into-windows bug". I too have this problem. Since upgrading to R3 from R2 I have been unable to use TWM. I tried the posted patch (106??), but it makes no difference. The menus and window focus indications seem to work fine. When I type, the text cursor flashes but does not advance and no characters appear. Typing simple commands gets no response. I am using a Sun 3/60 w/ CG4 and have tried both CC and GCC for server (with and without Purdue speedups) and TWM. Our internet connection was down for a few days, so forgive me if the solution has already been posted. Mike
