We want to use _standard_ OpenLook from Sun as mush as possible - i.e.
no reprogramming if the functionallity that is already there may be
used even if it requires minor changes of the project. What I want to
do is change the .openwin-menu-file so our applications may be started
easily. But my applications don't seem to start!
If I write:
...
"RESAM" MENU
"OpenLook..." POSTSCRIPT XVIEWHOME \
(/home0/acct/andrew/X/OpenLook/OpenLook) \
append runprogram
"RESAM" END
...
Then nothing happens, but if I write:
...
"RESAM" MENU
"OpenLook..." POSTSCRIPT XVIEWHOME \
(/bin/xview/cmdtool \
/home0/acct/andrew/X/OpenLook/OpenLook) \
append runprogram
"RESAM" END
...
The commandtool window pops up and starts my XView/OpenLook-application.
Conclusion: I must be missing something that shell-programs like: sh and
csh should do - what? (It's probably very simple I know!)

I think what you want is the following:
"RESAM" MENU
"OpenLook..." /home0/acct/andrew/X/OpenLook/OpenLook
"RESAM" END
By using the POSTSCRIPT keyword, you were trying to use NeWS operators
to prepend the default location of the XView tools to the path of the
executable you wanted to run, so xnews was trying to fork:
${XVIEWHOME}/home0/acct/andrew/X/OpenLook/OpenLook
which is not what you wanted.
