I have a question concerning the Applications menu now available
in the Session Manager in DECwindows V2.
Is there any way that I could have a verb automatically added to
the Session Manager "Applications" menu upon installation of a
product? Is it similar to adding a button to FileView?
An answer to this question and/or a pointer to the proper documentation
(and its location) would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Roland

You could do it by adding stuff to the sm app-defaults file. The apps and menu are defined with resources: sm.Mail.command: dxmail sm.applications: Calculator,Calendar,Cardfiler,Clock,DECterm,Mail,Notepad ,Paint,Postscript Previewer,Puzzle,User Executive sm.Calculator.command: dxcalc sm.Clock.command: dxclock sm.DECterm.command: dxterm -ls sm.Notepad.command: dxnotepad sm.Paint.command: dxpaint sm.Puzzle.command: dxpuzzle sm.Postscript Previewer.command: dxpsview sm.User Executive.command: dxue Jeff | |||||

re.1
A word of caution (if i'm wrong someone quickly correct me).
If you modify the sm-app-defaults file while the session manager is
running and the interactive user later makes a change - & SAVES it-
your changes are lost!! Right?
From my observation when a user does a SAVE the session manager takes
its "in memory" defaults and creates a new defaults file. steve

| 1685.3 | sounds right to me - but I don't know! | CDROM::DUPREZ | Thu Nov 09 1989 13:13 | 10 | |
re.2
I'm pretty sure you're right - I've observed that the save creates
a new defaults file in the user defaults area.
I started a new note (1695) to pursue the supported-ness of the
suggestion in reply 1. Thank you both, for the suggestion and for
the caveat...
