See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Date: 07 May 1993 00:00:01 EST To accomplish this task, you need to take advantage of the "instance vs class" concept. This concept is explained further in most books on Xt. Many applications have a resource that lets you to give it a unique name. For example, from the xwsh man page : -name instance-name Provide a unique name for an xwsh window. This name becomes the instance name of the specific xwsh, with the class name always being "XWsh". Using the -name option allows you to give "names" to different instances of xwsh and assign different resources to each one. So if you want two different xwsh's with different resource sets, give them two different names, say howdymom and howdydoody, for example. Add the following to your ~/.Xdefaults file (if you use .Xdefaults) : howdymom*foreground: SeaGreen howdydoody*foreground: SGIBeet Now all you have to do is start them up : xwsh -name howdymom& xwsh -name howdydoody& User Contributions:Top Document: SGI graphics Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Previous Document: -24- How can I set resources?
