This works fine :) but, if you have the registered version on AmiWin and
find that you use a remote program very often, you can use the GoodStuff
program - which is like ToolManager - to quickly start remote programs.

To do this, you need to edit the x11:lib/x11/fvwm/system.fvwmrc file - I
advise you make a backup copy before editing it.  Down in the GoodStuff
area, add this line

*GoodStuff NetScape xmosaic.xpm Exec "" run rsh yourhost 
      "exec NetScape -display $HOSTDISPLAY </dedv/null >&/dev/null &"

Note: this should all be on one line!  Also, replace "yourhost" with the
name of your real host.  And you need the "rsh" program, which is part of
the standard AmiTCP dist.  Oh, and one last thing: you need to create a
".rhosts" file in your $HOME directory to allow access.

This will add a button to the GoodStuff module (using the xmosaic icon)
that will run Netscape :)
