[comp.windows.x.motif] Motif under VMS

mip@castle.ed.ac.uk (M I Parsons) (01/09/91)

We are in the process of moving from DecWindows to Motif on our VMS system
at present. I am having trouble configuring the .mwmrc file (which I am
experimenting with) to allow decwindows clients to be executed from the
root menu. It looks something like below:

      Menu Rootmenu
      {
       .......
       "Clients"      f.menu      ClientMenu
       .......
      }

      Menu ClientMenu
      {
       "Calculator"   f.exec "run sys$system:decw$calc"
      }

The menus work fine except when a client is picked nothing appears. I
haven't been able to detect anything being executed either. Has anybody
else tried to do this under VMS - if so, please help, thanks in advance.

Mark Parsons.
