Hello!

	we have a Sun 386i in our office, and I am trying to install some
software on it to help us out.  We are running Open Windows 2.0 from Sun.
The programs that we wish to run are contributed programs from the MIT
X project (like Xfig, and many others).  Our problem is that the programs
compile nicely, but then do not accept input from the keyboard (some do,
some don't).  

	I select the window that the programs appear in, and they do NOT
become the active input window.  I have tried both available properties
options of clicking to get an active window, or just moving the cursor
to make the active window -- neither work.

	If anyone out there knows a way around this problem, I would
appreciate your help.

P.S.  Where can I get "Imake"?
