I am currently helping develop an application and I would like to be able to properly disable the window menu to keep the users from closing dialogs without my program's knowledge. Could you tell me how to go about doing this via the "protocol stuff" ? Any help greatly appreciated...

You *can* be notified with the popdown callback (of the shell, not the messagebox or whatever). For a primary window, if you simply want your user not to be able to close it, you can do this with a shell resource. Use: Mwm*Class.clientFunctions: -close or: Class*mwmFunctions: 33 Sorry about the magic number. Or (in 1.0.3 and up) set the resource XmNmwmFunctions to MWM_FUNC_ALL | MWM_FUNC_CLOSE, which is where the 33 comes from. Using protocols to cause a callback when "Kill" is selected is described in the mwm part of the OSF/Motif Programmer's Guide. -- David Brooks dbrooks@osf.org Systems Engineering, OSF uunet!osf.org!dbrooks
