Last week I brought up olvwm to give it a go.  Not only did we go with it,
we are running with it.

So far the program has been performing flawlessly.  It even fixes a problem
we have been having with FrameMaker 2.1X.

Some of you may have read/heard that changing the keyboard focus from the main
document window to one of the other Frame windows, like the Paragraph Format
window, causes the insertion marker, or selected text, to no longer be there.
Many a time I would click on the border of the Paragraph Format window only to
lose the document's insertion marker.  It was very fustrating.

Then along comes olvwm and the problem went away.  I can now operate inside
of the various format windows, when I don't have to change any text from the
keyboard, and I won't lose the insertion marker or selected text.  If I have
to enter a value, I can select the window to change keyboard focus and I won't
lose the insertion marker or selected text.  Nine out of ten times under olwm
I would and it was a real pain to get it to work correctly.

If you are using FrameMaker, it is highly suggested that you bring up olvwm.
You will be very happy that you did.  We are around here.
