Using: IRIS 4D/60, IRIX 3.2 (4Sight 1.4, if that's significant)
I'm confused about the path used for forkunix or seqfork NeWS
commands. I was doing the "exercise" in the _4Sight Programmer's
Guide_, Section 3 ("Programming the IRIS Window Manager"), Chapter 4
("Customizing the IRIS Window Manager"). Copy /usr/sbin/toolchest
into your home directory and modify it, and the "Tools" toolchest menu
has your modification in it. But put it in ~/bin, and it won't work
(the default /usr/sbin/toolchest gets used instead). How can I fix
the path used by forkunix/seqfork? I tried to put ~/bin in my path in
both .cshrc and .profile, but no luck. Am I trying the right thing,
and just not doing it correctly? There must be some way to put these
customized psh scripts somewhere other than my home directory!
Thanks.
