| Re: .0
On ULTRIX, DECterm's default resource file is default.DECterm in your root
directory (on VMS the file is called decw$terminal_default.dat). By default
DECterm reads your saved settings from this file when you create a new
widow, and it writes to the file when you Save Current Settings. Normally
you should use DECterm's Customize menu to change settings and then Save
Current Settings rather than editing the default.DECterm file yourself. If
you do want to add your own definitions you should probably put them in
your Xdefaults file.
See the ULTRIX Worksystem Software Reference Pages, dxterm(1X), for a
description of the DECterm resources that you can change.

| I don't know if you care, but that was the wrong name to use. .DXterm, or
whatever your class name is would have been the right thing to use.

Well, it's too late now; I would have cared if I'd known this earlier.
"DECterm" is the class name of the DECterm widget, "dxterm" (decw$terminal
on VMS) is the default applicication name, and "DXterm" (DECW$TERMINAL on VMS)
is the application class name. This is confusing to the developers, let alone
to the users...

| May be I should have added that when some users on our LAVCs bring up a DECterm
and runs VWSLAT in that window, they get the followiing message, but it still
connect to the node.
Can't open setup file DECW$USER_DEFAULTS:DEFAULT.DECTERM
Does this help?

| 1638.6 | Does the file exist? | HANNAH::MESSENGER | Bob Messenger | Wed Nov 01 1989 16:02 | 9 |
| Re: .5
That's interesting; why would someone be trying to use a DEFAULT.DECTERM file
on VMS. The first thing to do is to check whether the file actually exists.
The DECW$USER_DEFAULTS directory for the DECterm controller is always
SYS$LOGIN unless DECW$USER_DEFAULTS is defined in LNM$SYSTEM, because the
DECterm controller runs in a process that doesn't execute the LOGIN.COM file.

| This is ancient history, but I seem to remember a version of VWSLAT
from back in DECW V1.0 field test that tried to open a terminal defaults
file by that name. Either the defaults file really was called that for
a short time, or VWSLAT was wrong. In either case, a newer version of
VWSLAT was released that looked for DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULTS.DAT.
Could you perhaps have a really old version of VWSLAT?

| I would agree, this is an ANCIENT version of VWSLAT.
VWSLAT used to feed the set-up file via a mailbox, and therefore needed
to know what it was called. It doesn't do that anymore.

| So I have both a DEFAULT.DECTERM and a DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULT.DAT in my
login directory. Are you saying that I can delete the DEFAULT.DECTERM
file? (I am running DeskTop VMS (5.1).)
