Hi; I have a VAXstation 3100 on a LAVc with VMS 5.3 and DECwindows 2. I would like to know if it is possible to save my screen layout after logging out. In particular, after customizing all my windows and saving that, the only windows that "remember" where they were before logging out are the Session Manager, FileView, and Mail. All others, terminals, clock, calendar, calculator, etc. loose their customization and I need to reposition them where I want all over again. This is very frustrating and time consuming. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Robi. Robert Y. Al-Jaar Systems Engineering Technology Group

| 2148.1 | Clock and calendar is OK | OSLACT::OLAV | Do it in parallel! | Fri Jan 26 1990 09:35 | 4 |
Both the clock and the calendar also saves the position when you save the settings. Olav | |||||

My DECW$LOGIN contains the following loops to create decterms in known
positions. Usues escape sequences that became valid with VMS 5.3.
$Define DECW$user_defaults "''login_'.decw$user_defaults]"
$
$ loop_counter=1
$ x=0
$ y=0
$Creterm_Loop:
$ x=50*(loop_counter-1)
$ y=75*(loop_counter-1)
$ call creterm
$
$ loop_counter=loop_counter+1
$ if .not. (loop_counter .gt. 8) then goto creterm_loop
$
$
$Exeunt:
$ exit
$
$creterm: SUBROUTINE
$
$ create /terminal /detach /process="DW_''loop_counter'" -
/window_attributes=(rows=32,initial_state=icon,-
title="Initial_state",x='x',y='y',icon_name="Initial_state_DW''loop_counter'")
$
$ENDSUBROUTINE
