Hi. I've got a couple of questions about OpenWindows, (running on a Sun SLC,
OS 4.2 release 3.5). Hope somebody can help.

1. How do you write your own rootmenu? I wrote a file in the format
described in the buildmenu man-page, and put it in ~/.openwin-menu as
instructed. No effect. I exited from openwin and re-started it. Again,
no effect. How do I have to hold my tongue to make this work?

2. Assuming that I figure out how to change the rootmenu, I want to have
a menu-item for changing the working directory of the rootmenu. Is there a way?
The only way I've figured out is to exit from openwin, execute "cd" in the
shell, then start openwin again, a process that takes minutes.

Any ideas?
