I would like to know if it is possible to have mwm allow writing into a window (i.e. an xterm), by ONLY moving the mouse pointer into the window. (i.e. twm allows you to do this). I would like to eliminate the extra mouse button press that is required to raise a window so that it can be written in. Your subject references raising but your article asks about input focus so I'll address both. The following line in your resource file will cause the focus to follow the pointer: Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy: pointer If you also want the window raised, the following line will do it: Mwm*focusAutoRaise: True -- *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* | Joseph F.
