Problem Description
-------------------
Severity Level:
Minor -- represents a cosmetic type problem.
Date of First Occurrence:
11/16/89
One Line Description:
mwm man page has several incorrect statements on it.
Full Description:
The man page for mwm, as shipped from the OSF, has several
incorrect statements on it.
Under the section "Window Stacking", a table lists Alt-Esc and
Alt-Shift-Esc as bound to 'raise window' and 'lower window',
respectively. The keybindings supplied from the OSF have them bound to
'f.next_key' and 'f.prev_key', however.
Under the section "X DEFAULTS" and "ENVIRONMENT", only the use
of the $HOME variable is mentioned. Under "X DEFAULTS", it even says:
$HOME '...is the only environment variable mwm uses directly...'.
$SHELL is used as well, but this fact is not documented.
Repeat By:
type: man mwm and see for yourself.
Proposed Solution:
I've corrected the man page sources on Athena, however, OSF
should correct their man page and release an updated version of its own
with their Motif 1.1 release.
