Inside of this file a number of options can be set, including specifying that certain windows should not have a "title" (the bar with the resize, iconify, and focus gadgets) If this is what is happening to you (you aren't getting those gadgets) look in your .twmrc file for an area that looks like this: NoTitle { "xclock" "xload" "xfish" } You may have a number of other files in there, but simply remove the line with "xfish" to allow twm to decorate that window with a title bar. -Eli ----------- echarne@nrtc.northrop.com echarne@orion.cf.uci.edu echarne@ics.uci.edu zebcharne@uci.BITNET
