Fellow linuxers (or Xers),
Following is a sample .twmrc file I modified from my unix account at the university.
I like it because:
1) it doesn't force you to bring up the main menu to kill a window
2) brings up windows of different colors & with scrollbars
3) brings up windows with different fonts
4) doesn't put a titlebar on obvious things like xclock
5) the mouse button definitions are optimized for netrek :)
Of course, all this is trivial stuff. The scrollbar is only the '-sb' option to xterm, etc.
The fonts were selected with 'xfontsel' (do a man on it). This post is intended as a simple
example of an alternative .twmrc file for those of use that are relatively new to X.
Also, a friend of mine suggested a neat prompt:
copy the .bashrc file from /root (or wherever) and replace the line that starts
with 'PS1 ... ' with :
PS1='`whoami`@ `pwd` >'
Put this new .bashrc file in the root directory of your account along with
the following .twmrc or your own .twmrc file. Enjoy! you'll have to mess with the mouse
for a sec to figure out the mapping, or just stare at the .twmrc file for a while.
