[comp.windows.x] X window questions, opinions

andrewl@olivea.olivetti.com (Andrew Law) (04/06/88)

   I am considering X window for my application written in Pascal
running on a 680X0 processor with UNIX ( SUN 4.2 or System V ).
I would appreciate if some one can give me some suggestions,
answers, and opinions about using X window.  I would like to know
in particular whether it is possible and/or difficult to do 
the followings:
 - having one main window for user inputs; one window of items
   which users can select from and copy to the main window; and
   one command window (command bar) that controls the whole 
   screen ( or application ).
 - switch control from one window to another without a mouse.
 - any tutorial document, examples, or toolkit on how to do 
   the above.
 - how much effort, in terms of man hours, to install and maintain
   the X window system periodically.

   I can be reached by E-mail, regular mail, or telephone.
