Add/Integrate the following to your ".twmrc" file (it should be in your
home-directory):
Button1 = : root : f.menu "RootMenu"
Menu "RootMenu"
{
"Utilities" f.title
"Xterms ..." f.menu "XTerms"
"Restart Twm" ("grey85":"IndianRed") f.restart
"Exit X-Windows" ("grey85":"red") f.quit
}
Menu "XTerms"
{
"Xterm" ! "xterm &"
"Xterm with scrollbar" ! "xterm -sb -sl 1000 &"
}
Then restart X and press the left mousebutton on the root-window (desktop-
background).
Have a look at "man twm".
