2095.0. "UE menu on DS3100 does not work?" by TKOV04::MORI_Y (Yuji Mori Netwg/EDU/TKO ext .6918) Sun Jan 21 1990 18:59

Hi!

I have a problem with UE on DS3100. Pull-down menu on UE widnows doesn't
work -- ex. Files: remove, ... etc.
Is this known bug? Or is there anything I have forgot?

I receive this question from a customer(OEM), so I need help as soon as
possible.

Thanks for any advice.

Can you be more specific?  Versions would be nice.  Also a copy of the 
.ue_profile would be helpful.

Hello.

Though I tried many times to find the situation again, but it's hard to say
that is reproducible. Once I deleted my .ue_profile, all the menus work well.
So I think it's my mistake, but I've never modified my .ue_profile. (the same
as first time I login to PMAX)

If I find again, next time I try to observe everything and write down a report
here.

Thank you for your reply.

2095.3script writing mannerTKOV16::MORI_YYuji Mori Netwg/EDU/TKO ext .6918Tue Jan 23 1990 21:3310
By the way, is there any difference between PVAX and PMAX about the shell
-script that invoked from UE menu? My customer wants to use vi from UE menu.
A script, that is in our course material, works well on PVAX, but the same
script doesn't work on PMAX. I wonder script writing manner is differ PVAX
 and PMAX?

I post the script to following reply.

Thanks in advance.

Shell scripts run (in theory) exactly the same on one architecture as the other.
I'll see if I can find any strange behavior with your script.  BTW, you didn't
answer the first question, which was what version of UWS you are running.  If
it is before UWS2.2, I would pick up 2.2 at the first opportunity and see if
this behavior goes away.

 I'm using UWS2.1 and ULTRIX3.1.

 Please check it.
