|     As most of you probably know, Open Look dictates the use

| (?) through the push-pin.

Pulling olwm's pushpin sends a WM_DELETE_WINDOW message to the window.
This message is defined by the ICCCM, an X Consortium Standard.  It's not
OPEN LOOK specific.

I've put the following in my .twmrc to enable twm to send the
WM_DELETE_WINDOW message.  It works fine with XView applications.

RightTitleButton "opendot" = f.delete
LeftTitleButton "menu12" = f.menu "windowops"

menu "windowops"
{
"Window Menu"		f.title
"Delete"		f.delete
# ...
}
