I asked this in note 275.22, but since that is so old I'll ask here, "How do I get the icon name in the icon symbol with uwm?"

The answer depends on what you're asking. Do you want the user
interface way or the programmer way?
The user interface way would be to either use your .Xdefaults file
or else add something like the following to your command line when
you start up the application:
myapp -xrm "*iconName: mystring"
I'll ask someone else to do the code version if that's what you want.

| 1435.2 | "Show names" switch? | DECEAT::NOFSINGER | Wed Sep 13 1989 23:55 | 8 | |
I want the user interface way, preferably through the xdefaults file
since I'm running uwm, and everthing else, from VMS.
Are icons unnamed by default? I can't get anysort of text to appear in
my icons even when I know the icon has a name, which leads to me to
think that the problem is not having a name but some switch to display
the name.
