  Does anyone know of/or have a replacement program for the DECwindows
  session manager????  I hate the Ultrix4.0 version and I never had a use for
  it in the past anyway.
  
I found the session manager to be cumbersome, (I find most 'browser'
type apps to get in the way), and asked one of the DEC support people
about it. He pointed me to a very handy utility call 'xsh'. This lives
in '/usr/demo/dwt'. This allows you to run the DEC window manager, and
still have straight-forward access to an 'application starter'.
