- 
-How do I set up resources on a VMS DEC Windows server?
- 
-I need something like Jim Fulton's "Using and Specifying X Resources"
-for VMS.  I know that DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT is similiar to ~/.Xdefaults,
-but I want to know the full search path that is used to resolve X
-resources.
- 
-Is there an app-defaults directory?
-Is there something like XAPPLLRESDIR, XENVIRONMENT?
- 
-I couldn't find anything in DEC's VMS documentation.  Can someone either
-point me to where the documentation is or if it isn't published let

  There are two logicals, DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS and DECW$USER_DEFAULTS that
are used.

  DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS is a search list logical that points to
SYS$COMMON:[DECW$DEFAULTS.USER], SYS$COMMON:[DECW$DEFAULTS.SYSTEM], and
SYS$LIBRARY:.

  DECW$USER_DEFAULTS is defined as SYS$LOGIN.  Both of these logicals are
defined on the logical name table DECW$LOGICAL_NAMES.

  Hope this helps.
