[comp.sys.sgi] Opening wshells upon startup

wes@uh.msc.umn.edu (Wes Barris) (09/18/90)

Can someone tell me how to open a window (wsh) upon startup on an SGI 4D
series workstation?  Right now the Consol window is opened.  I would rather
have this opened in icon form.  I would also like to specify the font and
size (lines and chars) of the windows opened.  I've looked at the manual
about 4sight and NeWS but cannot find anything about this very basic task.

     I copied /usr/NeWS/lib/user.ps and /usr/NeWS/lib/init.ps to ~/NeWS
Then I modified both files to change the default Console window parameters
and open a wsh window as well as other things.  If you copy those files
and look at them, I think you can figure out what you want to do.  If not
ask for details.
