- Hello Info-Vaxers,
-
- I've got a fairly simple question for you. Is is possible under
- DECWindows to have everything startup as an Icon? In DECW$SM_GENERAL.DAT there
- is a line that reads 'sm.startup_state: iconified' Now I know what this
- does for the Session Manager, but is there a way to force everything else to be
- an Icon on startup? I'd like to be able to force DecTerms, Eve, and BookReader
- into an icon without cluttering up my screen.
-
- On a slightly different note, is there anyway to start up a Decterm on
- node X from node Y _without_ logging into node Y and issuing a
- 'create/term=decterm/detach' on it (node Y)? As is to do that and keep my
- current decterms free, I have to set host and issue the command manually. Can
- I do it remotely? If so how?
-
- If I need to post any more information (VMS Version(s), DECWindows
- settings, etc...), please e-mail me and I'll send the ASAP.
-
- Thanks for any help!
