| Yes...this can be done. I do not have my notes on hand right now but I
did this for a customer. I will try to post the resource names later
today for you.

| 632.2 | User environment or session manager? | SDSVAX::SWEENEY | Wall Street is my beat | Wed Apr 19 1989 19:27 | 24 |
| (I work in the similar application domain, however in the United States
such professionals are called "traders" not "dealers". A dealer in the
United States means "used cars" or "Las Vegas". That's why they
are called elsewhere "Trader Workstations")
Maybe I have a misunderstanding regarding the function of the "session
manager". It is limited to authenticating the user, a dialog box to
manipulate session-wide defaults, the startup of a "user environment"
(in DECwindows, DECterm and FileView) and session shutdown. One more
layer down, there's the application itself. (Or so I thought)
(For VMS, LOGIN.COM and the login flags can enforce a user to be
captive to an application. I don't know what the case is for UNIX)
Perhaps you don't want to write a substitute for the session manager,
perhaps what you want to write is an alternative to DECterm or
FileView, namely another application that's invoked after the login
window is filled in with user name and password and the session manager
window appears.
In any case, we can share these requirements off-line and see if we can
create a solution for some common requirements for financial applications.

I put these in DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT.

Sounds like Wall St. to me! :-)

| 632.5 | Other resource names?? | SPACC::MARKEY | Retreat, Retrench, Lower Expectations | Mon Nov 05 1990 14:02 | 11 |
| Does anyone know the resource names for the Application Definition and
Appliaction Menu buttons on the Customize pulldown? Looks like just about
everything else is covered in .3.
We would like to allow the user the opportunity to modify their own window
colors and other preferences, but not be able to change their pulldown
definitions.
Thanks,
Ron
