I was hoping someone could answer some of these questions:

1) in the documentation, they explain how to set the titlebar title of a
	wsh window with escape sequences. Is it possible to set the icon title?

2) is it possible to specify where a wsh icon is to appear when it is
	iconified? Is it possible from the command line to have a wsh
	window start out iconified?

3) does anyone have a really good wsh termcap that would take advantage of
	all of its features? Better yet, a program like X's resize that 
	would allow the host to inquire the terminal's size and set the
	termcap appropriately (for a BSD or Mach host which uses termcap
	not terminfo).
	(Yea, I know vt100 works OK, but it could be better by using 
	highlighting and variable sizing.)

4) in xterm, the ALT key acts like an emacs meta key, and ctrl-space is
	and emacs set mark. Is it possible to have wsh exhibit these
	properties? 
	There is code in /usr/NeWS/lib/NeWS/bindkey.ps that appears to
	handle the meta key, but we can't figure it out.

I appreciate any and all help. I will summarize if solutions are found.

Thanks,
	Mike
