I am kind of new to Open Look and X windows and I have a problem like that:
I used mainly X Windows with tvtwm window manager and recently I tried Open Wind
ows system. I invoke it with openwin script which installs some paths and sets s
ome parameters and then invokes xinit. I invoke X Windows with xinit script.
I liked very  much the xrn news manager working under X Windows, but I don't hav
e (or don't know) such a mouse-oriented interface for Open Windows. Does it exis
t ?
Also, is it possible to run olwm as a window manager for X ? I mean, can I repla
ce tvtwm with olwm in .xinitrc (see below), run xinit and I will have X with Ope
n Look manager ? Can I then run xrn ?
