To Interchange the Position of Controls

1. Copy the control definitions for the controls whose positions you want to change from /usr/dt/appconfig/types/language/dtwm.fp to:

   • System-wide: /etc/dt/appconfig/types/language/name.fp

   • Personal: HomeDirectory/.dt/types/name.fp.

     You must copy the entire control definition for each control to be moved.

2. Interchange the values of the POSITION_HINTS fields of the control definitions.

3. Save the file

4. Choose Restart Workspace Manager from the Workspace menu.

   For example, the following definitions placed in a file /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C/MailHelp.fp interchange the positions of the Mail and Help Manager controls and lock these controls against personal changes.

   CONTROL Mail
    {
    	POSITION_HINTS					12
    	LOCKED							True
    	…the rest of the control definition
    }
    

   CONTROL Help
    {
    	POSITION_HINTS					5
    	LOCKED							True
    	…the rest of the control definition
    }
