Hi!

  I recently mailed a query to someone in Hawaii who seemed to be quite
knowledgeable about WFW.  While his advice has helped somewhat, I would
like to make the solution a bit tidier.

Here's my dilemna:

Our PC is used by two people, namely myself (Paul), and my girlfriend (Minna).
About the only thing we use it for right now is word-processing with WFW. 
I would like a window to come up at the beginning of WFW which asks who the
user is, and has two buttons -- one labelled Paul, the other Minna.  The
answer to this question would determine the AUTHOR, default directory,
etc...  Right now I have a window which pops up and asks you type in a
response.  While this works just fine, it'd be so much easier simply to be able
to click on a button.  I'm sure if I had the Technical Reference I could figure
it out, but from what they gave us online, I just can't seem to get it to work.

If anyone has hints/tips/ideas, or the pertinent pages of the manual to direct
me to, please help me.  I'll leave it to your discretion whether you post or
mail directly to me.  

Thanks a lot,
