Or SHO LOG/EXEC DECW* In the private setup file enter the line DEFINE/SYSTEM <logicalname> 60 (Or /EXEC, depending on which table holds the DECW logical names) Hans Verzonden vanaf mijn draadloze BlackBerry -toestel -----Original Message----- From: Mark Benson <md.benson at gmail.com> Sender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2011 13:56:16 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE<hecnet at Update.UU.SE> Reply-To: hecnet at Update.UU.SESubject: Re: [HECnet] Introduction I will have to learn how the darned system works before I look further into this I think. Tonight's task, now I beat DECwindows into working, is to work out how to change at least the refresh rate of the X server as my LCD is not liking 70Hz (shuts the signal off after 5mins). I have the docs for DW to hand but they aren't awfully clear. Time to learn EVE and delve into some config files! -- Mark Benson http://markbenson.org/blog http://twitter.com/MDBenson
