How do I fire up a NeWS window from a SunView application?? Please don't reply with: overview -w NeWSapplication. I don't want the NeWS server to take up the whole screen. I've tried the documentation, but I haven't come across anything that might help me. Thanks.

Well, make sure that you have /usr/NeWS in your path and use: babylon% news_server020 or babylon% news_server010 to start up either the 68020 or 010 version of NeWS. > > I don't want the NeWS server to take up the whole screen. > If you have a monochrome monitor, make sure that the device: /dev/bwtwo0 exists among your devices (use MAKEDEV to create a new device if it isn't already there). The corresponding device for color is: /dev/cgtwo0 Set the FRAMEBUFFER environment variable to tell the NeWS server how much of the framebuffer it can use. Here's my FRAMEBUFFER variable: setenv FRAMEBUFFER "/dev/bwtwo0 562 0 590 405" it sets up a NeWS buffer in the upper right corner of your monitor. Note, that with the <adjacentscreens> command, you can set NeWS and SunView up to run on adjacent monitors (running in Zaphod mode...). Anyway, this should do it. Most of this is discussed in the NEWS_SERVER(1) manual page. ciao.
