I've been trying to replace the existing window manager by assigning the logical name DECW$WINMGREXE to the new executable. The new window manager was started up at session creation time, but died almost immediately, because it did not know anything about the environment. The logical sys$login, and decw$display are not defined. What do I need to do in order to bring up the new window manager as default? Thanks, Charmaine net: ccl@scampi.sc-scicon.com
