Thanks to everyone who responded with suggestions for features they
would like to see in a window manager.  I have added the following
features to twm.

1.  A list of window names to auto-raise.
2.  A list of window names to NOT put a title bar on.
3.  The ability to source a startup file other than $HOME/.twmrc
4.  To read a filename from the cut buffer and then read that file into
	the cut buffer.

To answer a couple of questions:

> 1) I see that there is going to be a 'keyboard' button. If that

Yes.

> 2) Once a window is iconified, will a click on the icon deiconify
>    it?

Yes.

When I said that twm now currently works only in monochrome.  I 
should have mentioned that only the title bars and pull-down menus
will appear in monochrome.  An application which uses color will
not be effected.

I'm trying to convince my boss to let me post twm.  I can post it
as soon as I get the OK, its in a farily stable state now.  Is the right
place for it to go comp.unix.sources?
