You have to define a geometry of sufficient size when you
start it up or else it won't ever work. This is a serious
bug in the code (among many). I use 650x800 and that works fine.
Problems I have yet to track down (if anybody has done this
already, I'd appreciate diffs) on my Sun 3/50 running SunOS 3.4:
-- attempts to create new folders dumps core and exits
-- attempts to execute a "pick" dumps core and exits
-- the -flag option doesn't work....mail arrives and the icon
never changes state
-- it sometimes gets confused about what files are present and
it exits, usually right after trying to do a "commit changes"
-- sometimes text entry in the "compose message" window doesn't
work....something gets confused and xmh and all child windows
accept nothing other than mouse clicks, requiring a quit
and restart of xmh to clear the condition.

I had problem with xmh in X11R2 on my sun 3/60. The solution appeared in
an earlier posting and as I recall, one needs to specify the geometry when
invoking xmh. I use
% xmh =650x650
I have only begun to use xmh and mh. More experienced users may have better
solutions to the problem.
