Would anyone who has already >confronted this problem like to save me some time? Thanks. From my personal experiences with SRGP, it appears to be a problem with the olwm. This appears to stem from olwm being ICCCM compliant and preferring that its associated clients also be ICCCM compliant. This got tossed around in one of the net.groups not too long ago, and I think a few people agreed with me. I don't believe that there is any way to correct this input focus problem short of recoding parts of SRGP to make it ICCCM compliant. My advice: get twm and run SRGP under it. -- hangin' ten: -John West- MSUNSFERC4CFS surfer@erc.msstate.edu Engineering Research Center for Computational Field Simulation Mississippi State University ***** National Science Foundation P.O.
