|  | This works fine from a current interactive session, but not from the 
applications menu off the Session Manager or from Autostart.

    Yes it does - you just modify the definition of DECterm, or create
    yourselfa new "application" that starts DECterm with the appropriate
    command.

| 1956.4 | Yes, you can! | NITMOI::PESENTI | Only messages can be dragged | Fri Dec 22 1989 09:16 | 5 | 
|  | I'm not sure you can or should modify the definition of DECterm on the 
application menu.  But you can easily define a new DECterm application.
I defined 2 of them with different icon and window titles and positions.  Both
of them get autostarted.

| 1956.5 | What I did... | PILO20::SHEPRO | A small boy with a sister is an only child | Sat Dec 23 1989 17:28 | 9 | 
|  |     One can not modify a system defined application, but you can define one
    of your own.  The one that I created, DECTerm-Icon, with the
    
              CREATE/TERMINAL=DECTERM/DETACH/WINDOW=(INIT=ICON)
    
    command will not work or any command with CREATE/TERM or CHILD.
    
    Do I have to have an /INPUT= command procedure redefining my SYS$INPUT
    and/or SYS$OUTPUT?

    This is what I use in my DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT.  It has worked for months.

| 1956.7 | Here is one that works for me: | NITMOI::PESENTI | Only messages can be dragged | Tue Jan 02 1990 09:15 | 20 | 
|  | I used the following to create a decterm
	CREATE/TERM=DECTERM/DET/NOBROAD/RES=.../WINDOW=(X=0,Y=65,INIT=ICON)
where the resource file is:
DECW$TERMINAL.decWmValueMask:   1
DECW$TERMINAL.title:    HOONOO::JP
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.screenMode: off
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.rows:       48
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.displayHeight:      728
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.autoResizeTerminal: on
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.bitPlanes:  2
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.y:  20
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.defaultTitle:       DECterm 1
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.defaultIconName:    DECterm 1
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.height:     728
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.borderColor:        #bbbbffffffff
DECW$TERMINAL.iconName: HOONOO::JP
DECW$TERMINAL.borderWidth:      1

    And they say that DECwindows isn't easy to use.

| 1956.10 | How to get different resource files? | FIVE0::R_SPENCE |  | Fri Mar 16 1990 13:41 | 9 | 
|  |     Is there something you can put in the CREATE command that will
    identify the resource file to use?
    
    What I want to do is clone the DECTERM application and resource
    files and have a series of DECTERMS Autostart but have defined
    locations for each, each to have a different name, and each may
    be a different size or shape.

	$CREATE/TERM/RESOURCE_FILE=mumble.DAT/DETACH should work fine.
	Got the info from HELP CREATE/TERM.
