2279.0. "Iconify DECterm on startup?" by YUPPY::PACKJ (Vertical learning curves) Thu Feb 15 1990 10:10

    
    Context: Decwindows on Ultix 2.1
    
    I want to start up a windows session on a Decstation/Ultrix so that
    when the use logs in the appliacation starts up automatically in
    a DECterm which is iconified.  Thats all just icon box at top of screen
    that contains SM,DECterm, application icons.  Screen just has
    application in.
    
    Problems:
    
    1/	How to get a decterm to iconify on startup
       
    (2/ Ultrix but related, how do I get the application to start up
    in the decterm )
    
    Penny for your thoughts (please)
