It works here on the version of Maple V Release 3 (dated Feb 1995) that is available through a site license here at Queen's. All of maple is below /usr/local/maple, and a shell script /usr/local/bin/maple, supplied by Waterloo Software with Maple, sets [...] MAPLE=/usr/local/maple export MAPLE [...] # This variable tells Maple's Motif interface where to find its resource # files. This should be set even if TTY Maple is being run, as the user # might still open a Motif plot window. XAPPLRESDIR=$MAPLE/X11_defaults export XAPPLRESDIR and indeed, there are plenty of osf* definitions in the files in the directory. $ grep -c osf /usr/local/maple/X11_defaults/* /usr/local/maple/X11_defaults/Maple:26 /usr/local/maple/X11_defaults/Maple2dX11m:0 /usr/local/maple/X11_defaults/Maple3dX11m:0 /usr/local/maple/X11_defaults/MapleV:26 /usr/local/maple/X11_defaults/XKeysymDB:25 Might this be a local problem? -- Dirk Eddelb"uttel http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd
