Thanks for the advice, but I don't think this solves the problem for the original poster. It definitely doesn't solve it for me. It does make it so that you can read the menu items (hmmm, a major win!), but it does nothing about the hung windows situation. The windows can be opened up, but they just sit there. If you do a "ps" you will only see defunct processes where you expect to see shells or whatever for the windows. It is not a case of just not being able to see the text. You can see the text cursor, but it never leaves the top left corner of each window. This is on a diskless color SUN 3/60 running SunOS 4.0. Anybody have a cure? -- -- Bill Carpenter att!ho5cad!wjc or attmail!bill
