[comp.unix.aix] info app-defaults

boote@bierstadt.scd.ucar.edu (Jeff W. Boote) (09/21/90)

Does anyone know where the app-defaults file can be found for info?
The problem is this:
    When I try and use info it comes up extremely small so I added
   the following line to my .Xdefaults
      info*geometry: 500x550
   while this does make the windows larger, it makes all the windows
   larger which can be quite annoying.  I would like to get the app-defaults
   file so I can determine what the names of all the different windows are
   so I can set thier resources individually.  A list of the setable
   resources would be fine too.  I am a little curious why this file is not
   included and in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults.

Thanks,
   jeff

I have a sneaking suspicion that info talks directly to Xlib instead of
calling into Xt.  It doesn't respond to standard toolkit options (I
remember trying -iconic).  Am I right?  It seems to know nothing of
resources, application default files and the like.

Sort of; "info" is built using a combination of Motif widgets (for the 
outer decorations) and the Andrew Toolkit (for the majority of the system).
ATK uses different conventions.
