I have only recently managed to find myself a Sun running NeWS.  
NeWS is *great*!  It seems to be the most elegent, beautifully designed
windowing system around.  However, I had a few questions:

Does everybody just hack the files in NeWS/lib so that init.ps includes
.user.ps instead of just user.ps?  I really don't want to have 
*one more* file in my home directory.

Where can I find an archive of interesting NeWS programs?  I managed
to pick the Grasshopper psterm out of comp.sources.unix archives,
but I'd like to have more!  Any ftp sites?  I have heard of a NeWS
archive site at sun.com, but does it allow anonymous ftp?

The regular NeWS manual seems a bit obtuse.  Are there any better manuals?
I guess I should just dive in...

Well, thanks in advance for any answers you can give me,
Kevin
