The -ls option is a bug (I've included a fix below).  Titlebars went away in
R1; you'll have to run a window manager that provides them (try "wm" or "cwm"
from the MIT distribution, or one of the various ones that are being developed
by various vendors).  I'll send you the recently posted tutorial on using
the Resource Manager separately.
