consider the following to be a tip. or, a rant. your choice. xwp can be a PITA when invoked from xterm (as compared to when invoked from root menu of a window manager). consider i am in /usr/home/parv; i create a subdirectory ./tmp. i invoke xwp in /usr/home/parv from xterm. now, if i try to save a file in ./tmp, xwp complains about missing files. if i happen to be in /usr/home/parv when the first i started xwp, registration key is saved there. if i, by misfortune, happen to be in /usr/home/parv/tmp & start xwp from there, i will be asked for the registration key & ".wprc" directory will be created in /usr/home/parv/tmp. so far, wherever i saved a file, a .wprc directory was created. talk about the sheep droppings[0]! now, i consciously try to avoid starting xwp from the command line and use root menu (in fvwm2) to launch xwp. oh, if i happened not to be in /usr/home/parv when i started[1] X, too bad... [0] in case you don't know, sheep droppings are in small black round balls; generally aligned in a line as sheep walks & poops. [1] the working directory is inherited in X (from console) if not properly taken care of, say in xinitrc. if you start X from /tmp, you will see & be in that directory when you start xterm, for example. - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
