903.0. "when the I/O window is closed..." by TLE::JRICHARD () Fri Mar 28 1997 16:57

It seems that you can double click on the window manager menu button
and get rid of the I/O window (when you are using it).  Is there any
way to get it back from dxladebug?

Can you be a little more specific about "window manager menu button" please?

The button in the upper left corner on a standard motif window...

Yes.  Or really, anything that will send "close" to the window
(I think it's the WM_DELETE_WINDOW atom).

Christopher Allen pointed out to me that this only happens in FUSE!
I didn't realize that, since I'm almost always running under FUSE. :)

Thanks for the quick response!

To answer the original question: once you've closed the I/O window, there's no
way of getting it back without restarting the debugger.

There is a difference between running dxladebug standalone and running it from
FUSE.  When running from FUSE dxladebug will let you close the I/O window, and
when running standalone dxladebug will NOT let you close the I/O window.

Given that you can't get it back once it's closed, I think we should fix
dxladebug so that it never lets users close the I/O window.

... or perhaps recreate it upon rerun?
