  Thanks David but I've got an RPM (AfterStep-1.0-3.i386.rpm) which I then ran
as root rpm -ivh [filename] & everything there went fine - no errors.  Then
checking it using glint it seems fine!!
I think my problem lies in getting my system files to point to Afterstep.
I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what :-(
In the 7 mths. using Linux I've never tried to change my wm - I suppose I
could always get RedHat 5.0 But I need to learn to do this & I'm sick of the
Win95 look :-))
PS I have an EVERYTHING install of Redhat 4.2 from the Powertools CD (wastes a
lot of space but then I know I've got make etc. on my system - big grin)
