Hi Dennis,

I don't see anything changed recently that could affect your
login.  Looking at your .login file, your default X Windows manager is set
to be FVWM which is what I believe came up when you logged in.  Now I
have changed your default window manager to OpenWindows instead,
you should be able to use cmdtool, etc. without a problem.  Let me know
otherwise.  Thanks.

PS. You can change your window manager by editing the line in your .login
that says "set answer=".  It should be straightforward.
