NAME
       twm - Tab Window Manager for the X Window System

SYNTAX
       /usr/bin/twm [ -display dpy ] [ -s ] [ -f initfile ] [ -v ]

DESCRIPTION
       Twm  is  a  window manager for the X Window System.  It provides title-
       bars, shaped windows, several forms of  icon  management,  user-defined
       macro  functions,  click-to-type and pointer-driven keyboard focus, and
       user-specified key and pointer button bindings.

       This program is usually  started  by  the  user's  session  manager  or
       startup  script.   When  used from xdm(1) or xinit(1) without a session
       manager, twm is frequently executed  in  the  foreground  as  the  last
       client.  When run this way, exiting twm causes the session to be termi-
       nated (i.e., logged out).

       By default, application windows are surrounded by a  ``frame''  with  a
       titlebar at the top and a special border around the window.  The title-
       bar contains the window's name, a rectangle that is lit when the window
       is  receiving  keyboard  input, and function boxes known as ``titlebut-
       tons'' at the left and right edges of the titlebar.

       Pressing pointer Button1 (usually the left-most button  unless  it  has
       been  changed  with  xmodmap) on a titlebutton will invoke the function
       associated with the button.  In  the  default  interface,  windows  are
       iconified  by  clicking  (pressing  and then immediately releasing) the
       left titlebutton (which looks like a  Dot).   Conversely,  windows  are
       deiconified  by  clicking  in  the associated icon or entry in the icon
       manager (see description of the variable  ShowIconManager  and  of  the
       function f.showiconmgr).

       Windows  are resized by pressing the right titlebutton (which resembles
       a group of nested squares), dragging the pointer over edge that  is  to
       be  moved,  and releasing the pointer when the outline of the window is
       the desired size.  Similarly, windows are  moved  by  pressing  in  the
       title  or  highlight region, dragging a window outline to the new loca-
       tion, and then releasing when the outline is in the  desired  position.
       Just  clicking in the title or highlight region raises the window with-
       out moving it.

       When new windows are created, twm will  honor  any  size  and  location
       information  requested  by  the user (usually through -geometry command
       line argument or resources for the  individual  applications).   Other-
       wise,  an outline of the window's default size, its titlebar, and lines
       dividing the window into a 3x3 grid that track  the  pointer  are  dis-
       played.   Clicking pointer Button1 will position the window at the cur-
       rent position and give it the default size.  Pressing  pointer  Button2
       (usually  the middle pointer button) and dragging the outline will give
       the window its current position but allow the sides to  be  resized  as
       described  above.   Clicking pointer Button3 (usually the right pointer
       button) will give the window its current position but attempt  to  make
       it long enough to touch the bottom the screen.

OPTIONS
       Twm accepts the following command line options:

       -display dpy
               This option specifies the X server to use.

       -s      This  option  indicates that only the default screen (as speci-
               fied by -display or by the DISPLAY environment variable) should
               be managed.  By default, twm will attempt to manage all screens
               on the display.

       -f filename
               This option specifies the name of the startup file to use.   By
               default,  twm  will look in the user's home directory for files
               named .twmrc.num (where num is a screen number) or .twmrc.

       -v      This option indicates that  twm  should  print  error  messages
               whenever  an unexpected X Error event is received.  This can be
               useful when debugging applications but can  be  distracting  in
               regular use.

CUSTOMIZATION
       Much  of twm's appearance and behavior can be controlled by providing a
       startup file in one of the following locations (searched in  order  for
       each screen being managed when twm begins):

       $HOME/.twmrc.screennumber
               The  screennumber  is a small positive number (e.g. 0, 1, etc.)
               representing the screen number (e.g. the  last  number  in  the
               DISPLAY  environment  variable  host:displaynum.screennum) that
               would be used to contact that screen of the display.   This  is
               intended for displays with multiple screens of differing visual
               types.

       $HOME/.twmrc
               This is the usual name for an individual user's startup file.

       /usr/lib/X11/twm/system.twmrc
               If neither of the preceding files are found, twm will  look  in
               this  file for a default configuration.  This is often tailored
               by the site administrator to provide convenient menus or famil-
               iar bindings for novice users.

       If  no  startup  files  are  found,  twm will use the built-in defaults
       described above.  The only resource used by twm is bitmapFilePath for a
       colon-separated  list  of directories to search when looking for bitmap
       files  (for  more  information,  see  the  Athena  Widgets  manual  and
       xrdb(1)).

       Twm  startup files are logically broken up into three types of specifi-
       cations:  Variables, Bindings, Menus.  The Variables section must  come
       first  and  is  used  to  describe  the  fonts, colors, cursors, border
       widths, icon and window placement, highlighting, autoraising, layout of
       titles, warping, use of the icon manager.  The Bindings section usually
       comes second and is used to specify the functions that should be to  be
       invoked  when  keyboard  and  pointer  buttons  are pressed in windows,
       icons, titles, and frames.  The Menus section  gives  any  user-defined
       menus (containing functions to be invoked or commands to be executed).

       Variable names and keywords are case-insensitive.  Strings must be sur-
       rounded by double quote characters (e.g. "blue")  and  are  case-sensi-
       tive.  A pound sign (#) outside of a string causes the remainder of the
       line in which the character appears to be treated as a comment.

VARIABLES
       Many of the aspects of twm's user interface are controlled by variables
       that  may  be  set in the user's startup file.  Some of the options are
       enabled or disabled simply by the presence  of  a  particular  keyword.
       Other  options  require  keywords, numbers, strings, or lists of all of
       these.

       Lists are surrounded by braces and are usually separated by  whitespace
       or a newline.  For example:
       AutoRaise { "emacs" "XTerm" "Xmh" }
       or
       AutoRaise
       {
               "emacs"
               "XTerm"
               "Xmh"
       }
       When  a  variable  containing a list of strings representing windows is
       searched (e.g. to determine whether or not to enable autoraise as shown
       above), a string must be an exact, case-sensitive match to the window's
       name (given by the WM_NAME window property),  resource  name  or  class
       name (both given by the WM_CLASS window property).  The preceding exam-
       ple would enable autoraise on windows named ``emacs'' as  well  as  any
       xterm  (since they are of class ``XTerm'') or xmh windows (which are of
       class ``Xmh'').

       String arguments that are interpreted as filenames  (see  the  Pixmaps,
       Cursors,  and  IconDirectory  below)  will prepend the user's directory
       (specified by the HOME environment variable) if the first character  is
       a tilde (~).  If, instead, the first character is a colon (:), the name
       is assumed to refer to one of the internal bitmaps  that  are  used  to
       create the default titlebars symbols:  :xlogo or :delete (both refer to
       the X logo), :dot or :iconify (both refer to  the  dot),  :resize  (the
       nested  squares  used by the resize button), :menu (a page with lines),
       and :question (the question mark used for non-existent bitmap files).

       The following variables may be specified at the top of  a  twm  startup
       file.   Lists  of Window name prefix strings are indicated by win-list.
       Optional arguments are shown in square brackets:

       AutoRaise { win-list }
               This variable specifies a list of windows that should automati-
               cally  be  raised whenever the pointer enters the window.  This
               action can be interactively enabled or disabled  on  individual
               windows using the function f.autoraise.

       AutoRelativeResize
               This variable indicates that dragging out a window size (either
               when initially sizing the window with pointer Button2  or  when
               resizing  it) should not wait until the pointer has crossed the
               window edges.  Instead, moving the pointer automatically causes
               the  nearest  edge  or  edges to move by the same amount.  This
               allows the resizing of windows that extend off the edge of  the
               screen.   If  the pointer is in the center of the window, or if
               the resize is begun by pressing a titlebutton, twm  will  still
               wait  for  the pointer to cross a window edge (to prevent acci-
               dents).  This option is particularly useful for people who like
               the press-drag-release method of sweeping out window sizes.

       BorderColor string [{ wincolorlist }]
               This  variable  specifies the default color of the border to be
               placed around all non-iconified windows, and may only be  given
               within  a  Color,  Grayscale  or Monochrome list.  The optional
               wincolorlist specifies a list of window and  color  name  pairs
               for  specifying particular border colors for different types of
               windows.  For example:
               BorderColor "gray50"
               {
                       "XTerm" "red"
                       "xmh"   "green"
               }
               The default is "black".

       BorderTileBackground string [{ wincolorlist }]
               This variable specifies the default  background  color  in  the
               gray pattern used in unhighlighted borders (only if NoHighlight
               hasn't been set),  and  may  only  be  given  within  a  Color,
               Grayscale or Monochrome list.  The optional wincolorlist allows
               per-window colors to be specified.  The default  is "white".

       BorderTileForeground string [{ wincolorlist }]
               This variable specifies the default  foreground  color  in  the
               gray pattern used in unhighlighted borders (only if NoHighlight
               hasn't been set),  and  may  only  be  given  within  a  Color,
               Grayscale or Monochrome list.  The optional wincolorlist allows
               per-window colors to be specified.  The default is "black".

       BorderWidth pixels
               This variable specifies the width in pixels of the border  sur-
               rounding  all client window frames if ClientBorderWidth has not
               been specified.  This value is also used to set the border size
               of  windows  created  by  twm  (such as the icon manager).  The
               default is 2.

       ButtonIndent pixels
               This variable specifies the amount by which titlebuttons should
               be indented on all sides.  Positive values cause the buttons to
               be smaller than the window text and highlight area so that they
               stand  out.   Setting this and the TitleButtonBorderWidth vari-
               ables to 0 makes titlebuttons be as tall and wide as  possible.
               The default is 1.

       ClientBorderWidth
               This  variable  indicates that border width of a window's frame
               should be set to the initial border width of the window, rather
               than to the value of BorderWidth.

       Color { colors-list }
               This  variable specifies a list of color assignments to be made
               if the default display is capable of displaying more than  sim-
               ple black and white.  The colors-list is made up of the follow-
               ing  color  variables  and  their  values:   DefaultBackground,
               DefaultForeground,  MenuBackground,  MenuForeground, MenuTitle-
               Background, MenuTitleForeground,  MenuShadowColor,  MenuBorder-
               Color, PointerForeground, and PointerBackground.  The following
               color variables may also be given a list of  window  and  color
               name pairs to allow per-window colors to be specified (see Bor-
               derColor for details): BorderColor, IconManagerHighlight,  Bor-
               derTitleBackground,   BorderTitleForeground,   TitleBackground,
               TitleForeground,  IconBackground,  IconForeground,  IconBorder-
               Color,  IconManagerBackground,  and IconManagerForeground.  For
               example:
               Color
               {
                       MenuBackground          "gray50"
                       MenuForeground          "blue"
                       BorderColor                     "red" { "XTerm" "yellow" }
                       TitleForeground         "yellow"
                       TitleBackground         "blue"
               }
               All of these color variables may  also  be  specified  for  the
               Monochrome  variable,  allowing the same initialization file to
               be used on both color and monochrome displays.

       ConstrainedMoveTime milliseconds
               This variable specifies  the  length  of  time  between  button
               clicks  needed  to  begin a constrained move operation.  Double
               clicking within this amount of time when invoking  f.move  will
               cause  the  window to be moved only in a horizontal or vertical
               direction.  Setting this value to 0  will  disable  constrained
               moves.  The default is 400 milliseconds.

       Cursors { cursor-list }
               This variable specifies the glyphs that twm should use for var-
               ious pointer cursors.  Each cursor may be defined  either  from
               the cursor font or from two bitmap files.  Shapes from the cur-
               sor font may be specified directly as:
                       cursorname        "string"
               where cursorname is one of the cursor names listed  below,  and
               string   is   the  name  of  a  glyph  as  found  in  the  file
               /usr/include/X11/cursorfont.h (without the ``XC_'' prefix).  If
               the  cursor  is  to be defined from bitmap files, the following
               syntax is used instead:
                       cursorname        "image"   "mask"
               The image and mask strings specify the names of files  contain-
               ing  the  glyph  image  and mask in bitmap(1) form.  The bitmap
               files are located in the same manner as icon bitmap files.  The
               following example shows the default cursor definitions:
               Cursors
               {
                       Frame           "top_left_arrow"
                       Title           "top_left_arrow"
                       Icon            "top_left_arrow"
                       IconMgr "top_left_arrow"
                       Move            "fleur"
                       Resize          "fleur"
                       Menu            "sb_left_arrow"
                       Button          "hand2"
                       Wait            "watch"
                       Select          "dot"
                       Destroy "pirate"
               }

       DecorateTransients
               This  variable indicates that transient windows (those contain-
               ing a WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property)  should  have  titlebars.   By
               default, transients are not reparented.

       DefaultBackground string
               This  variable  specifies  the  background color to be used for
               sizing and information windows.  The default is "white".

       DefaultForeground string
               This variable specifies the foreground color  to  be  used  for
               sizing and information windows.  The default is "black".

       DontIconifyByUnmapping { win-list }
               This  variable  specifies  a list of windows that should not be
               iconified by simply unmapping the window (as would be the  case
               if  IconifyByUnmapping  had been set).  This is frequently used
               to force some windows to be treated as icons while  other  win-
               dows are handled by the icon manager.

       DontMoveOff
               This  variable  indicates that windows should not be allowed to
               be moved off the screen.  It can be overridden by the  f.force-
               move function.

       DontSqueezeTitle [{ win-list }]
               This  variable  indicates that titlebars should not be squeezed
               to their minimum size as described  under  SqueezeTitle  below.
               If  the  optional  window  list is supplied, only those windows
               will be prevented from being squeezed.

       ForceIcons
               This variable indicates that  icon  pixmaps  specified  in  the
               Icons variable should override any client-supplied pixmaps.

       FramePadding pixels
               This variable specifies the distance between the titlebar deco-
               rations (the button  and  text)  and  the  window  frame.   The
               default is 2 pixels.

       Grayscale { colors }
               This variable specifies a list of color assignments that should
               be made if the screen has a GrayScale default visual.  See  the
               description of Colors.

       IconBackground string [{ win-list }]
               This  variable specifies the background color of icons, and may
               only be specified inside of a Color,  Grayscale  or  Monochrome
               list.  The optional win-list is a list of window names and col-
               ors so that per-window colors may be specified.  See  the  Bor-
               derColor  variable  for a complete description of the win-list.
               The default is "white".

       IconBorderColor string [{ win-list }]
               This variable specifies the color of the border used  for  icon
               windows, and may only be specified inside of a Color, Grayscale
               or Monochrome list.  The optional win-list is a list of  window
               names  and  colors  so that per-window colors may be specified.
               See the BorderColor variable for a complete description of  the
               win-list.  The default is "black".

       IconBorderWidth pixels
               This  variable specifies the width in pixels of the border sur-
               rounding icon windows.  The default is 2.

       IconDirectory string
               This variable specifies the directory that should  be  searched
               if  if  a bitmap file cannot be found in any of the directories
               in the bitmapFilePath resource.

       IconFont string
               This variable specifies the font to be  used  to  display  icon
               names within icons.  The default is "variable".

       IconForeground string [{ win-list }]
               This  variable  specifies  the foreground color to be used when
               displaying icons, and may only be specified inside of a  Color,
               Grayscale  or Monochrome list.  The optional win-list is a list
               of window names and colors so that  per-window  colors  may  be
               specified.    See  the  BorderColor  variable  for  a  complete
               description of the win-list.  The default is "black".

       IconifyByUnmapping [{ win-list }]
               This variable indicates that windows  should  be  iconified  by
               being  unmapped  without trying to map any icons.  This assumes
               that the user will remap the window through the  icon  manager,
               the f.warpto function, or the TwmWindows menu.  If the optional
               win-list is provided, only those windows will be  iconified  by
               simply unmapping.  Windows that have both this and the IconMan-
               agerDontShow options set may not be accessible if no binding to
               the TwmWindows menu is set in the user's startup file.

       IconManagerBackground string [{ win-list }]
               This  variable  specifies  the background color to use for icon
               manager entries, and may only be specified inside of  a  Color,
               Grayscale  or Monochrome list.  The optional win-list is a list
               of window names and colors so that  per-window  colors  may  be
               specified.    See  the  BorderColor  variable  for  a  complete
               description of the win-list.  The default is "white".

       IconManagerDontShow [{ win-list }]
               This variable indicates that the icon manager should  not  dis-
               play  any  windows.   If  the  optional win-list is given, only
               those windows will not be displayed.  This variable is used  to
               prevent  windows  that  are rarely iconified (such as xclock or
               xload) from taking up space in the icon manager.

       IconManagerFont string
               This variable specifies the font to  be  used  when  displaying
               icon manager entries.  The default is "variable".

       IconManagerForeground string [{ win-list }]
               This  variable  specifies  the foreground color to be used when
               displaying icon manager entries,  and  may  only  be  specified
               inside  of a Color, Grayscale or Monochrome list.  The optional
               win-list is a list of window names and colors so that  per-win-
               dow  colors may be specified.  See the BorderColor variable for
               a  complete  description  of  the  win-list.   The  default  is
               "black".

       IconManagerGeometry string [ columns ]
               This  variable  specifies the geometry of the icon manager win-
               dow.  The string argument is  standard  geometry  specification
               that  indicates the initial full size of the icon manager.  The
               icon manager window is then  broken  into  columns  pieces  and
               scaled  according to the number of entries in the icon manager.
               Extra entries are wrapped to form additional rows.  The default
               number of columns is 1.

       IconManagerHighlight string [{ win-list }]
               This  variable specifies the border color to be used when high-
               lighting the icon manager entry that currently has  the  focus,
               and can only be specified inside of a Color, Grayscale or Mono-
               chrome list.  The optional win-list is a list of  window  names
               and colors so that per-window colors may be specified.  See the
               BorderColor variable for a complete  description  of  the  win-
               list.  The default is "black".

       IconManagers { iconmgr-list }
               This  variable  specifies  a  list  of icon managers to create.
               Each item in the iconmgr-list has the following format:
                       "winname" ["iconname"]      "geometry" columns
               where winname is the name of the windows  that  should  be  put
               into  this icon manager, iconname is the name of that icon man-
               ager window's icon, geometry is a standard geometry  specifica-
               tion, and columns is the number of columns in this icon manager
               as described in IconManagerGeometry.  For example:
               IconManagers
               {
                       "XTerm" "=300x5+800+5"  5
                       "myhost"        "=400x5+100+5"  2
               }
               Clients whose name or class is ``XTerm''  will  have  an  entry
               created  in the ``XTerm'' icon manager.  Clients whose name was
               ``myhost'' would be put into the ``myhost'' icon manager.

       IconManagerShow { win-list }
               This variable specifies a list of windows that should appear in
               the  icon  manager.  When used in conjunction with the IconMan-
               agerDontShow variable, only the windows in this  list  will  be
               shown in the icon manager.

       IconRegion geomstring vgrav hgrav gridwidth gridheight
               This  variable  specifies  an  area on the root window in which
               icons are placed if no specific icon location  is  provided  by
               the  client.   The  geomstring  is a quoted string containing a
               standard geometry specification.  If more than  one  IconRegion
               lines  are  given,  icons  will be put into the succeeding icon
               regions when the first is full.  The vgrav argument  should  be
               either  North  or  South  and  control  and  is used to control
               whether icons are first filled in from the top or bottom of the
               icon  region.   Similarly,  the hgrav argument should be either
               East or West and is used to control  whether  icons  should  be
               filled  in from left from the right.  Icons are laid out within
               the region in a grid with cells gridwidth pixels wide and grid-
               height pixels high.

       Icons { win-list }
               This  variable  specifies a list of window names and the bitmap
               filenames that should be used as their icons.  For example:
               Icons
               {
                       "XTerm" "xterm.icon"
                       "xfd"           "xfd_icon"
               }
               Windows that match ``XTerm'' and  would  not  be  iconified  by
               unmapping,  and  would  try  to use the icon bitmap in the file
               ``xterm.icon''.  If ForceIcons is specified, this  bitmap  will
               be used even if the client has requested its own icon pixmap.

       InterpolateMenuColors
               This variable indicates that menu entry colors should be inter-
               polated between entry specified colors.  In the example below:
               Menu "mymenu"
               {
                       "Title"         ("black":"red")         f.title
                       "entry1"                                f.nop
                       "entry2"                                f.nop
                       "entry3"        ("white":"green")       f.nop
                       "entry4"                                f.nop
                       "entry5"        ("red":"white")         f.nop
               }
               the foreground colors for ``entry1''  and  ``entry2''  will  be
               interpolated between black and white, and the background colors
               between  red  and  green.   Similarly,   the   foreground   for
               ``entry4''  will  be  half-way  between  white and red, and the
               background will be half-way between green and white.

       MakeTitle { win-list }
               This variable specifies a list of windows on which  a  titlebar
               should be placed and is used to request titles on specific win-
               dows when NoTitle has been set.

       MaxWindowSize string
               This variable specifies a  geometry  in  which  the  width  and
               height give the maximum size for a given window.  This is typi-
               cally used to restrict windows to the size of the screen.   The
               default  width  is 32767 - screen width.  The default height is
               32767 - screen height.

       MenuBackground string
               This variable specifies the background color  used  for  menus,
               and can only be specified inside of a Color or Monochrome list.
               The default is "white".

       MenuBorderColor string
               This variable specifies the color of the menu  border  and  can
               only  be  specified  inside of a Color, Grayscale or Monochrome
               list.  The default is "black".

       MenuBorderWidth pixels
               This variable specifies the width in pixels of the border  sur-
               rounding menu windows.  The default is 2.

       MenuFont string
               This  variable specifies the font to use when displaying menus.
               The default is "variable".

       MenuForeground string
               This variable specifies the foreground color  used  for  menus,
               and can only be specified inside of a Color, Grayscale or Mono-
               chrome list.  The default is "black".

       MenuShadowColor string
               This variable specifies the color of the  shadow  behind  pull-
               down  menus  and  can  only  be  specified  inside  of a Color,
               Grayscale or Monochrome list.  The default is "black".

       MenuTitleBackground string
               This  variable  specifies  the  background  color  for  f.title
               entries  in menus, and can only be specified inside of a Color,
               Grayscale or Monochrome list.  The default is "white".

       MenuTitleForeground string
               This  variable  specifies  the  foreground  color  for  f.title
               entries in menus and can only be specified inside of a Color or
               Monochrome list.  The default is "black".

       Monochrome { colors }
               This variable specifies a list of color assignments that should
               be made if the screen has a depth of 1.  See the description of
               Colors.

       MoveDelta pixels
               This variable specifies the number of pixels the  pointer  must
               move  before  the f.move function starts working.  Also see the
               f.deltastop function.  The default is zero pixels.

       NoBackingStore
               This variable indicates that twm's  menus  should  not  request
               backing  store  to minimize repainting of menus.  This is typi-
               cally used with servers that can repaint faster than  they  can
               handle backing store.

       NoCaseSensitive
               This  variable indicates that case should be ignored when sort-
               ing icon names in an icon manager.  This  option  is  typically
               used  with  applications  that  capitalize  the first letter of
               their icon name.

       NoDefaults
               This variable indicates that twm should not supply the  default
               titlebuttons  and bindings.  This option should only be used if
               the startup file contains a completely new set of bindings  and
               definitions.

       NoGrabServer
               This  variable  indicates  that  twm should not grab the server
               when popping up menus and moving opaque windows.

       NoHighlight [{ win-list }]
               This variable indicates that borders should not be  highlighted
               to track the location of the pointer.  If the optional win-list
               is given, highlighting will only be disabled for those windows.
               When the border is highlighted, it will be drawn in the current
               BorderColor.  When the border is not highlighted,  it  will  be
               stippled  with a gray pattern using the current BorderTileFore-
               ground and BorderTileBackground colors.

       NoIconManagers
               This variable indicates that no icon manager should be created.

       NoMenuShadows
               This variable indicates that menus should not have drop shadows
               drawn  behind them.  This is typically used with slower servers
               since it speeds up menu drawing at the expense  of  making  the
               menu slightly harder to read.

       NoRaiseOnDeiconify
               This  variable  indicates  that  windows  that  are deiconified
               should not be raised.

       NoRaiseOnMove
               This variable indicates that windows should not be raised  when
               moved.  This is typically used to allow windows to slide under-
               neath each other.

       NoRaiseOnResize
               This variable indicates that windows should not be raised  when
               resized.  This is typically used to allow windows to be resized
               underneath each other.

       NoRaiseOnWarp
               This variable indicates that windows should not be raised  when
               the pointer is warped into them with the f.warpto function.  If
               this option is set, warping to an occluded window may result in
               the  pointer  ending  up  in  the  occluding window instead the
               desired  window  (which   causes   unexpected   behavior   with
               f.warpring).

       NoSaveUnders
               This  variable  indicates  that  menus should not request save-
               unders to minimize window repainting following menu  selection.
               It is typically used with displays that can repaint faster than
               they can handle save-unders.

       NoStackMode [{ win-list }]
               This variable indicates that client window requests  to  change
               stacking  order should be ignored.  If the optional win-list is
               given, only requests on those windows will be ignored.  This is
               typically  used  to prevent applications from relentlessly pop-
               ping themselves to the front of the window stack.

       NoTitle [{ win-list }]
               This variable indicates that windows should not have titlebars.
               If  the optional win-list is given, only those windows will not
               have titlebars.  MakeTitle may be  used  with  this  option  to
               force titlebars to be put on specific windows.

       NoTitleFocus
               This  variable indicates that twm should not set keyboard input
               focus to each window as it is entered.  Normally, twm sets  the
               focus  so  that focus and key events from the titlebar and icon
               managers are delivered to the application.  If the  pointer  is
               moved quickly and twm is slow to respond, input can be directed
               to the old window instead of the new.  This option is typically
               used  to  prevent this ``input lag'' and to work around bugs in
               older applications that have problems with focus events.

       NoTitleHighlight [{ win-list }]
               This variable indicates that the highlight area of  the  title-
               bar,  which  is  used to indicate the window that currently has
               the input focus, should not be displayed.  If the optional win-
               list  is  given,  only  those  windows  will not have highlight
               areas.  This and the SqueezeTitle options can be  set  to  sub-
               stantially reduce the amount of screen space required by title-
               bars.

       OpaqueMove
               This variable indicates that the f.move function  should  actu-
               ally  move  the  window  instead of just an outline so that the
               user can immediately see what the window will look like in  the
               new  position.   This option is typically used on fast displays
               (particularly if NoGrabServer is set).

       Pixmaps { pixmaps }
               This variable specifies a  list  of  pixmaps  that  define  the
               appearance of various images.  Each entry is a keyword indicat-
               ing the pixmap to set, followed by a string giving the name  of
               the bitmap file.  The following pixmaps may be specified:
               Pixmaps
               {
                       TitleHighlight  "gray1"
               }
               The  default  for TitleHighlight is to use an even stipple pat-
               tern.

       Priority priority
               This variable sets  twm's  priority.   priority  should  be  an
               unquoted,  signed  number  (e.g.  999).   This  variable has an
               effect only if the server supports the SYNC extension.

       RandomPlacement
               This variable indicates that windows with no specified geometry
               should  be placed in a pseudo-random location instead of having
               the user drag out an outline.

       ResizeFont string
               This variable specifies the font to be used for in  the  dimen-
               sions window when resizing windows.  The default is "fixed".

       RestartPreviousState
               This  variable  indicates  that  twm  should attempt to use the
               WM_STATE property on  client  windows  to  tell  which  windows
               should  be iconified and which should be left visible.  This is
               typically used to try to regenerate the state that  the  screen
               was in before the previous window manager was shutdown.

       SaveColor { colors-list }
               This  variable  indicates  a  list  of  color assignments to be
               stored as pixel values in the root window property  _MIT_PRIOR-
               ITY_COLORS.   Clients  may  elect to preserve these values when
               installing their own colormap.  Note that use of this mechanism
               is a way an for application to avoid the "technicolor" problem,
               whereby useful screen objects such as window borders and title-
               bars  disappear  when a programs custom colors are installed by
               the window manager.  For example:
               SaveColor
               {
                       BorderColor
                       TitleBackground
                       TitleForeground
                       "red"
                       "green"
                       "blue"
               }
               This would place on the root window 3 pixel values for  borders
               and  titlebars,  as  well as the three color strings, all taken
               from the default colormap.

       ShowIconManager
               This variable indicates that the icon manager window should  be
               displayed  when  twm  is  started.  It can always be brought up
               using the f.showiconmgr function.

       SortIconManager
               This variable indicates that entries in the icon manager should
               be  sorted  alphabetically  rather than by simply appending new
               windows to the end.

       SqueezeTitle [{ squeeze-list }]
               This variable indicates that twm  should  attempt  to  use  the
               SHAPE  extension  to  make titlebars occupy only as much screen
               space as they need, rather than extending all  the  way  across
               the  top  of the window.  The optional squeeze-list may be used
               to control the location of the squeezed titlebar along the  top
               of the window.  It contains entries of the form:
                       "name"            justification     num       denom
               where name is a window name, justification is either left, cen-
               ter, or right, and num and denom are numbers specifying a ratio
               giving the relative position about which the titlebar is justi-
               fied.  The ratio is measured from left to right if the  numera-
               tor  is positive, and right to left if negative.  A denominator
               of 0 indicates that the numerator should be measured in pixels.
               For  convenience,  the  ratio 0/0 is the same as 1/2 for center
               and -1/1 for right.  For example:
               SqueezeTitle
               {
                       "XTerm" left            0       0
                       "xterm1"        left            1       3
                       "xterm2"        left            2       3
                       "oclock"        center          0       0
                       "emacs" right           0       0
               }
               The DontSqueezeTitle list can be used to turn off squeezing  on
               certain titles.

       StartIconified [{ win-list }]
               This variable indicates that client windows should initially be
               left as icons until explicitly deiconified by the user.  If the
               optional  win-list is given, only those windows will be started
               iconic.  This is useful for programs that  do  not  support  an
               -iconic command line option or resource.

       TitleBackground string [{ win-list }]
               This variable specifies the background color used in titlebars,
               and may only be specified inside of a Color, Grayscale or Mono-
               chrome  list.   The optional win-list is a list of window names
               and colors so that per-window colors  may  be  specified.   The
               default is "white".

       TitleButtonBorderWidth pixels
               This  variable specifies the width in pixels of the border sur-
               rounding titlebuttons.  This is typically set  to  0  to  allow
               titlebuttons  to  take  up as much space as possible and to not
               have a border.  The default is 1.

       TitleFont string
               This variable specifies the font to be used for displaying win-
               dow names in titlebars.  The default is "variable".

       TitleForeground string [{ win-list }]
               This variable specifies the foreground color used in titlebars,
               and may only be specified inside of a Color, Grayscale or Mono-
               chrome  list.   The optional win-list is a list of window names
               and colors so that per-window colors  may  be  specified.   The
               default is "black".

       TitlePadding pixels
               This  variable  specifies the distance between the various but-
               tons, text, and highlight areas in the titlebar.   The  default
               is 8 pixels.

       UnknownIcon string
               This  variable  specifies  the  filename of a bitmap file to be
               used as the default icon.  This bitmap will be used as the icon
               of  all clients which do not provide an icon bitmap and are not
               listed in the Icons list.

       UsePPosition string
               This variable specifies whether or not twm  should  honor  pro-
               gram-requested  locations  (given  by the PPosition flag in the
               WM_NORMAL_HINTS property) in the absence  of  a  user-specified
               position.   The  argument  string may have one of three values:
               "off" (the default) indicating that twm should ignore the  pro-
               gram-supplied  position,  "on"  indicating  that  the  position
               should be used, and "non-zero"  indicating  that  the  position
               should  used  if  it is other than (0,0).  The latter option is
               for working around a bug in older toolkits.

       WarpCursor [{ win-list }]
               This variable indicates that the pointer should be warped  into
               windows when they are deiconified.  If the optional win-list is
               given, the pointer will only be warped when those  windows  are
               deiconified.

       WindowRing { win-list }
               This  variable  specifies  a  list  of  windows along which the
               f.warpring function cycles.

       WarpUnmapped
               This variable  indicates  that  the  f.warpto  function  should
               deiconify  any  iconified windows it encounters.  This is typi-
               cally used to make a key binding that  will  pop  a  particular
               window  (such  as  xmh), no matter where it is.  The default is
               for f.warpto to ignore iconified windows.

       XorValue number
               This variable specifies the value to use  when  drawing  window
               outlines  for  moving  and  resizing.   This should be set to a
               value that will result in a variety of of distinguishable  col-
               ors  when exclusive-or'ed with the contents of the user's typi-
               cal screen.  Setting  this  variable  to  1  often  gives  nice
               results  if  adjacent  colors  in the default colormap are dis-
               tinct.  By default, twm will attempt to cause  temporary  lines
               to  appear  at the opposite end of the colormap from the graph-
               ics.

       Zoom [ count ]
               This variable indicates that outlines suggesting movement of  a
               window  to  and  from  its  iconified state should be displayed
               whenever a window is iconified or  deiconified.   The  optional
               count  argument  specifies  the number of outlines to be drawn.
               The default count is 8.

       The following variables must be set after the fonts have been assigned,
       so it is usually best to put them at the end of the variables or begin-
       ning of the bindings sections:

       DefaultFunction function
               This variable specifies the function to be executed when a  key
               or  button  event is received for which no binding is provided.
               This is typically bound to f.nop, f.beep, or a menu  containing
               window operations.

       WindowFunction function
               This  variable  specifies the function to execute when a window
               is selected from the TwmWindows menu.  If this variable is  not
               set, the window will be deiconified and raised.

BINDINGS
       After  the  desired  variables have been set, functions may be attached
       titlebuttons and key and pointer buttons.  Titlebuttons  may  be  added
       from  the  left  or right side and appear in the titlebar from left-to-
       right according to the order in which  they  are  specified.   Key  and
       pointer button bindings may be given in any order.

       Titlebuttons  specifications must include the name of the pixmap to use
       in the button box and the function to be invoked when a pointer  button
       is pressed within them:
       LeftTitleButton "bitmapname"        = function
       or
       RightTitleButton "bitmapname"       = function
       The  bitmapname  may  refer  to one of the  built-in bitmaps (which are
       scaled to match TitleFont) by using the appropriate colon-prefixed name
       described above.

       Key and pointer button specifications must give the modifiers that must
       be pressed, over which parts of the screen the  pointer  must  be,  and
       what  function  is to be invoked.  Keys are given as strings containing
       the appropriate keysym name; buttons are given  as  the  keywords  But-
       ton1-Button5:
       "FP1"           = modlist : context : function
       Button1   = modlist : context : function
       The  modlist  is  any combination of the modifier names shift, control,
       lock, meta, mod1, mod2, mod3, mod4, or mod5 (which may  be  abbreviated
       as  s, c, l, m, m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, respectively) separated by a verti-
       cal bar (|).  Similarly, the context  is  any  combination  of  window,
       title,  icon, root, frame, iconmgr, their first letters (iconmgr abbre-
       viation is m), or all, separated by a vertical bar.   The  function  is
       any  of  the  f.   keywords  described below.  For example, the default
       startup file contains the following bindings:
       Button1 =       : root          : f.menu "TwmWindows"
       Button1 = m     : window | icon : f.function "move-or-lower"
       Button2 = m     : window | icon : f.iconify
       Button3 = m     : window | icon : f.function "move-or-raise"
       Button1 =       : title         : f.function "move-or-raise"
       Button2 =       : title         : f.raiselower
       Button1 =       : icon          : f.function "move-or-iconify"
       Button2 =       : icon          : f.iconify
       Button1 =       : iconmgr       : f.iconify
       Button2 =       : iconmgr       : f.iconify
       A user who wanted to be able to manipulate windows  from  the  keyboard
       could use the following bindings:
       "F1"    =       : all           : f.iconify
       "F2"    =       : all           : f.raiselower
       "F3"    =       : all           : f.warpring "next"
       "F4"    =       : all           : f.warpto "xmh"
       "F5"    =       : all           : f.warpto "emacs"
       "F6"    =       : all           : f.colormap "next"
       "F7"    =       : all           : f.colormap "default"
       "F20"   =       : all           : f.warptoscreen "next"
       "Left"  = m     : all           : f.backiconmgr
       "Right" = m | s : all           : f.forwiconmgr
       "Up"    = m     : all           : f.upiconmgr
       "Down"  = m | s : all           : f.downiconmgr
       Twm  provides many more window manipulation primitives than can be con-
       veniently stored in a titlebar, menu, or set of key bindings.  Although
       a  small  set of defaults are supplied (unless the NoDefaults is speci-
       fied), most users will want to have their most common operations  bound
       to  key and button strokes.  To do this, twm associates names with each
       of the primitives and  provides  user-defined  functions  for  building
       higher  level  primitives  and  menus for interactively selecting among
       groups of functions.

       User-defined functions contain the name by which they are referenced in
       calls  to  f.function  and  a  list of other functions to execute.  For
       example:
       Function "move-or-lower"        { f.move f.deltastop f.lower }
       Function "move-or-raise"        { f.move f.deltastop f.raise }
       Function "move-or-iconify"      { f.move f.deltastop f.iconify }
       Function "restore-colormap"     { f.colormap "default" f.lower }
       The function name must be used in f.function exactly as it  appears  in
       the function specification.

       In  the  descriptions  below, if the function is said to operate on the
       selected window, but is invoked from a root menu, the  cursor  will  be
       changed  to  the  Select cursor and the next window to receive a button
       press will be chosen:

       ! string
               This is an abbreviation for f.exec string.

       f.autoraise
               This function toggles whether or not  the  selected  window  is
               raised whenever entered by the pointer.  See the description of
               the variable AutoRaise.

       f.backiconmgr
               This function warps the pointer to the previous column  in  the
               current icon manager, wrapping back to the previous row if nec-
               essary.

       f.beep  This function sounds the keyboard bell.

       f.bottomzoom
               This function  is  similar  to  the  f.fullzoom  function,  but
               resizes the window to fill only the bottom half of the screen.

       f.circledown
               This  function lowers the top-most window that occludes another
               window.

       f.circleup
               This function raises the bottom-most window that is occluded by
               another window.

       f.colormap string
               This  function rotates the colormaps (obtained from the WM_COL-
               ORMAP_WINDOWS property on the window)  that  twm  will  display
               when  the  pointer  is in this window.  The argument string may
               have  one  of  the  following  values:  "next",   "prev",   and
               "default".   It  should  be  noted  here  that  in general, the
               installed colormap is determined by keyboard focus.  A  pointer
               driven  keyboard  focus  will  install  a private colormap upon
               entry of the window owning the colormap.  Using  the  click  to
               type  model,  private colormaps will not be installed until the
               user presses a mouse button on the target window.

       f.deiconify
               This function deiconifies the selected window.  If  the  window
               is not an icon, this function does nothing.

       f.delete
               This   function  sends  the  WM_DELETE_WINDOW  message  to  the
               selected window if the  client  application  has  requested  it
               through  the  WM_PROTOCOLS window property.  The application is
               supposed to respond to the message by  removing  the  indicated
               window.   If the window has not requested WM_DELETE_WINDOW mes-
               sages, the keyboard bell will be rung indicating that the  user
               should choose an alternative method.  Note this is very differ-
               ent from f.destroy.  The intent here is to delete a single win-
               dow,  not necessarily the entire application.

       f.deltastop
               This  function  allows a user-defined function to be aborted if
               the pointer has been moved more than MoveDelta pixels.  See the
               example  definition  given  for Function "move-or-raise" at the
               beginning of the section.

       f.destroy
               This function instructs the X server to close the display  con-
               nection  of  the client that created the selected window.  This
               should only be used as a last resort for shutting down  runaway
               clients.  See also f.delete.

       f.downiconmgr
               This  function warps the pointer to the next row in the current
               icon manger, wrapping to the beginning of the  next  column  if
               necessary.

       f.exec string
               This  function passes the argument string to /bin/sh for execu-
               tion.  In multiscreen mode, if string starts  a  new  X  client
               without  giving  a  display argument, the client will appear on
               the screen from which this function was invoked.

       f.focus This function toggles the keyboard focus of the server  to  the
               selected window, changing the focus rule from pointer-driven if
               necessary.  If the selected window already  was  focused,  this
               function executes an f.unfocus.

       f.forcemove
               This  function  is like f.move except that it ignores the Dont-
               MoveOff variable.

       f.forwiconmgr
               This function warps the pointer to the next column in the  cur-
               rent icon manager, wrapping to the beginning of the next row if
               necessary.

       f.fullzoom
               This function resizes the selected window to the full  size  of
               the  display  or  else restores the original size if the window
               was already zoomed.

       f.function string
               This function executes the user-defined function whose name  is
               specified by the argument string.

       f.hbzoom
               This function is a synonym for f.bottomzoom.

       f.hideiconmgr
               This function unmaps the current icon manager.

       f.horizoom
               This variable is similar to the f.zoom function except that the
               selected window is resized to the full width of the display.

       f.htzoom
               This function is a synonym for f.topzoom.

       f.hzoom This function is a synonym for f.horizoom.

       f.iconify
               This function iconifies or deiconifies the selected  window  or
               icon, respectively.

       f.identify
               This  function  displays  a summary of the name and geometry of
               the selected window.  If the server supports  the  SYNC  exten-
               sion, the priority of the client owning the window is also dis-
               played.  Clicking the pointer or pressing a key in  the  window
               will dismiss it.

       f.lefticonmgr
               This  function  similar  to  f.backiconmgr except that wrapping
               does not change rows.

       f.leftzoom
               This variable is  similar  to  the  f.bottomzoom  function  but
               causes  the selected window is only resized to the left half of
               the display.

       f.lower This function lowers the selected window.

       f.menu string
               This function  invokes  the  menu  specified  by  the  argument
               string.   Cascaded  menus  may  be  built  by  nesting calls to
               f.menu.

       f.move  This function drags an outline of the selected window  (or  the
               window  itself  if  the  OpaqueMove  variable is set) until the
               invoking pointer button is released.   Double  clicking  within
               the  number  of milliseconds given by ConstrainedMoveTime warps
               the pointer to the center of the window and constrains the move
               to  be  either  horizontal  or vertical depending on which grid
               line is crossed.  To abort a move, press another button  before
               releasing the first button.

       f.nexticonmgr
               This  function  warps the pointer to the next icon manager con-
               taining any windows on the current or any succeeding screen.

       f.nop   This function does nothing  and  is  typically  used  with  the
               DefaultFunction  or  WindowFunction  variables  or to introduce
               blank lines in menus.

       f.previconmgr
               This function warps the pointer to the  previous  icon  manager
               containing any windows on the current or preceding screens.

       f.priority string
               This  function  sets  the  priority  of  the  client owning the
               selected window to the numeric value of  the  argument  string,
               which  should  be a signed integer in double quotes (e.g. "999"
               ).  This function has an effect only if the server supports the
               SYNC extension.

       f.quit  This  function  causes  twm to restore the window's borders and
               exit.  If twm is the first client invoked from xdm,  this  will
               result in a server reset.

       f.raise This function raises the selected window.

       f.raiselower
               This  function  raises  the  selected  window to the top of the
               stacking order if it is occluded by any windows, otherwise  the
               window will be lowered.

       f.refresh
               This function causes all windows to be refreshed.

       f.resize
               This  function  displays  an  outline  of  the selected window.
               Crossing a border (or setting  AutoRelativeResize)  will  cause
               the  outline  to begin to rubber band until the invoking button
               is released.  To abort a resize, press  another  button  before
               releasing the first button.

       f.restart
               This function kills and restarts twm.

       f.startwm string
               This  function  kills twm and starts another window manager, as
               specified by string.

       f.righticonmgr
               This function is similar to f.nexticonmgr except that  wrapping
               does not change rows.

       f.rightzoom
               This  variable  is  similar to the f.bottomzoom function except
               that the selected window is only resized to the right  half  of
               the display.

       f.saveyourself
               This  function  sends a WM_SAVEYOURSELF message to the selected
               window if it has requested the message in its WM_PROTOCOLS win-
               dow property.  Clients that accept this message are supposed to
               checkpoint all state associated with the window and update  the
               WM_COMMAND property as specified in the ICCCM.  If the selected
               window has not selected for this  message,  the  keyboard  bell
               will be rung.

       f.showiconmgr
               This function maps the current icon manager.

       f.sorticonmgr
               This  function  sorts  the  entries in the current icon manager
               alphabetically.  See the variable SortIconManager.

       f.title This function provides a centered, unselectable item in a  menu
               definition.  It should not be used in any other context.

       f.topzoom
               This  variable  is  similar to the f.bottomzoom function except
               that the selected window is only resized to the top half of the
               display.

       f.unfocus
               This  function  resets  the focus back to pointer-driven.  This
               should be used when a focused window is no longer desired.

       f.upiconmgr
               This function warps the pointer to the previous row in the cur-
               rent  icon manager, wrapping to the last row in the same column
               if necessary.

       f.vlzoom
               This function is a synonym for f.leftzoom.

       f.vrzoom
               This function is a synonym for f.rightzoom.

       f.warpring string
               This function warps the pointer to the next or previous  window
               (as  indicated  by  the argument string, which may be "next" or
               "prev") specified in the WindowRing variable.

       f.warpto string
               This function warps the pointer to the window which has a  name
               or  class  that matches string.  If the window is iconified, it
               will be deiconified if the variable WarpUnmapped is set or else
               ignored.

       f.warptoiconmgr string
               This function warps the pointer to the icon manager entry asso-
               ciated with the window containing the pointer in the icon  man-
               ager  specified  by  the  argument  string.  If string is empty
               (i.e. ""), the current icon manager is chosen.

       f.warptoscreen string
               This function warps the pointer to the screen specified by  the
               argument string.  String may be a number (e.g. "0" or "1"), the
               word "next" (indicating the current  screen  plus  1,  skipping
               over  any  unmanaged  screens), the word "back" (indicating the
               current screen minus 1, skipping over any  unmanaged  screens),
               or the word "prev" (indicating the last screen visited.

       f.winrefresh
               This  function is similar to the f.refresh function except that
               only the selected window is refreshed.

       f.zoom  This function is similar to  the  f.fullzoom  function,  except
               that the only the height of the selected window is changed.

MENUS
       Functions  may be grouped and interactively selected using pop-up (when
       bound to a pointer button) or pull-down (when associated with a  title-
       button)  menus.   Each menu specification contains the name of the menu
       as it will be referred to by f.menu, optional  default  foreground  and
       background colors, the list of item names and the functions they should
       invoke, and optional foreground and background  colors  for  individual
       items:
       Menu "menuname" [ ("deffore":"defback") ]
       {
               string1   [ ("fore1":"backn")]        function1
               string2   [ ("fore2":"backn")]        function2
                       .
                       .
                       .
               stringN   [ ("foreN":"backN")]        functionN
       }

       The menuname is case-sensitive.  The optional deffore and defback argu-
       ments specify the foreground and background colors used on a color dis-
       play  to highlight menu entries.  The string portion of each menu entry
       will be the text which will appear in the menu.  The optional fore  and
       back arguments specify the foreground and background colors of the menu
       entry when the pointer is not in the entry.  These colors will only  be
       used on a color display.  The default is to use the colors specified by
       the MenuForeground and MenuBackground variables.  The function  portion
       of  the  menu entry is one of the functions, including any user-defined
       functions, or additional menus.

       There is a special menu named TwmWindows which contains  the  names  of
       all  of  the  client and twm-supplied windows.  Selecting an entry will
       cause the WindowFunction to be executed on that window.  If WindowFunc-
       tion hasn't been set, the window will be deiconified and raised.

ICONS
       Twm  supports several different ways of manipulating iconified windows.
       The common pixmap-and-text style may be laid out by hand  or  automati-
       cally arranged as described by the IconRegion variable.  In addition, a
       terse grid of icon names, called an icon manager, provides a more effi-
       cient use of screen space as well as the ability to navigate among win-
       dows from the keyboard.

       An icon manager is a window that contains names of selected or all win-
       dows currently on the display.  In addition to the window name, a small
       button using the default iconify symbol will be displayed to  the  left
       of  the  name when the window is iconified.  By default, clicking on an
       entry in the icon manager performs f.iconify.  To  change  the  actions
       taken  in the icon manager, use the the iconmgr context when specifying
       button and keyboard bindings.

       Moving the pointer into the icon manager also directs keyboard focus to
       the indicated window (setting the focus explicitly or else sending syn-
       thetic events NoTitleFocus is set).  Using the f.upiconmgr, f.downicon-
       mgr f.lefticonmgr, and f.righticonmgr functions, the input focus can be
       changed between windows directly from the keyboard.

BUGS
       The resource manager should have been used instead of all of the window
       lists.

       The IconRegion variable should take a list.

       Double  clicking  very  fast  to get the constrained move function will
       sometimes cause the window to move, even  though  the  pointer  is  not
       moved.

       If  IconifyByUnmapping  is  on  and  windows are listed in IconManager-
       DontShow but not in DontIconifyByUnmapping, they may be  lost  if  they
       are  iconified  and  no bindings to f.menu "TwmWindows" or f.warpto are
       setup.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       DISPLAY This variable is used to determine which X server to  use.   It
               is  also  set  during  f.exec  so  that programs come up on the
               proper screen.

       HOME    This variable is used as the prefix for files that begin with a
               tilde and for locating the twm startup file.
