We want to use _standard_ OpenLook from Sun as mush as possible - i.e.
no reprogramming if the functionallity that is already there may be
used even if it requires minor changes of the project. What I want to
do is change the .openwin-menu-file so our applications may be started
easily. But my applications don't seem to start!

If I write:
...
"RESAM"		MENU
    "OpenLook..."	POSTSCRIPT XVIEWHOME \
			(/home0/acct/andrew/X/OpenLook/OpenLook) \
			append runprogram
"RESAM"		END
...
Then nothing happens, but if I write:
...
"RESAM"		MENU
    "OpenLook..."	POSTSCRIPT XVIEWHOME \
			(/bin/xview/cmdtool \
			/home0/acct/andrew/X/OpenLook/OpenLook) \
			append runprogram
"RESAM"		END
...
The commandtool window pops up and starts my XView/OpenLook-application.
Conclusion: I must be missing something that shell-programs like: sh and
csh should do - what? (It's probably very simple I know!)
