Last week I asked if anyone could tell me what Postscript code I
could put in my user.ps in order to obtain windows WITH borders
but WITHOUT title bars.  The best reply I got was to try something
using the cps facilty.  Before I try something this horrible,
perhaps someone can help me with the question below.

Fact 1:
I have found the appropriate places to hack and hew
/usr/NeWS/lib/NeWS/sgiwin.ps so that the windows have borders and yet
no title bars, provided I leave the edited file in /usr/NeWS/lib/NeWS.

Fact 2:
If you examine user.ps, startup.ps and the .4sight directory from
/usr/people/4Dgifts, you see how you can modify the way the title
bar is drawn.

Fact 3:
If you copy over the 4Dgifts stuff, replace .4sight/window.ps
by your own hacked and hewed version of sgiwin.ps, nothing is changed!

Finally, my question:
Why is nothing changed when you replace .4sight/window.ps
with (almost all of) sgiwin.ps?  And how can you get it to change?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

P.S.  This seems to be an apropriate time to point out how nice
the 3130 is.  Remember the 3000 series, anyone?
