Thanks for your reply Dominik.

I am afriad I don't actually know what you mean by the 'fvwm call'. I have added

exec /home/s9902456/bin/share/bin/fvwm2

to the end of ~/.xinitrc which now looks something like:

if [ "$X_DISPLAY_IS_PC" = "yes" ]
then
        xrdb -DX_DISPLAY_IS_PC $HOME/.Xdefaults
else
        xrdb $HOME/.Xdefaults
fi
if [ "$NEWSSERVER" = "" ]; then
        xset -fp /usr/local/pack/X11/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/ > /dev/null 2>&1
        xset +fp /usr/local/pack/X11/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/ > /dev/null 2>&1
        xterm -C -T Console -n Console -sb -g 80x4+0-0 -iconic &
        
        if [ "$X_DISPLAY_IS_PC" = "yes" ]
        then
                xterm -T `hostname` -n `hostname` -sb -g 80x22+0+0 &
        else
                xterm -T `hostname` -n `hostname` -sb -g 80x34+0+0 &
        fi
else
        eval `svenv -env`
fi
# DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE - BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DO
. /usr/local/DOT/XINITRC.EE3
exec /home/s9902456/bin/share/bin/fvwm2


Thanks for your help. It is much appreachated.
Allan
