I have yet to use qwm, but highly recommend twm. It is available through MIT in the usual source code access manners. We have been using it for about 9 months, and are quite happy with it. You can easily customize menus or bind actions to keys, including function keys. Finally, adding little icon-buttons to the standard ones in the title bar is very easy (I've done it). | 6.

I don't know about vtsingle, but we got fg-22 on our R2 tape. If you have another font that size you like, use it, but the fg-nn fonts are nice, too. ===================================================================== Any opinions, facts, fantasies, theories, fallacies and/or lies which may or may not have been expressed in this posting or elsewhere, may or may not belong to myself, my employer, the building management, Atlanta, Fulton County, public and/or private utilities serving such, the State of GA, the USA, or God himself.
