Put "RandomPlacement" in your .twmrc and it will place new windows itself. It won't give them focus though, unless they're under the mouse (since focus follows mouse). I think there's some way to make focus follow clicks instead of just the cursor, but who wants that? :) -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet"
