I have run into a similar problem.  I am running SunOS 4.1.1 and OW2.0,
and using Saber-C++ version 1.0.1 .  I added to the Your Commands submenu
of the File Manager's File menu the command	xsaberc++ &
and sure enough, the outline of Saber's main window comes up, goes away.
No error message in the console window or at bottom of the File Manager
window.  Similar commands for other things (e.g.,  guide &) work fine.
Please post any ideas for the cause.
