:    	1. When I run openwin, then olwm menu has both these entries. However,
:    	   using  "Exit WM..." logs me out of the system even without asking
:    	   me for confirmation. When I select "Exit..." menu item, it asks me
:    	   for confirmation. However, both exit me from the server!
:    	   Is there anything I am doing incorrectly?
:

Is it possable to executue these (and other ) wm functions from
a command line?  With swm there is a shell comand "swmcmd" which
executes thier f.whatever() functions.  Does olwm have an equivalent?

Of course I can simulate the EXIT and EXIT WM functions with
appropriate kill commands, but it would seem a little 'cleaner'
to let the wm do it.
