I am new to UNIX so please bear with me...  I have no problems with running 
xdm or startx. The 'twm' window manager comes up just fine.

My question is how do you make xdm or startx start the 'fvwm' window 
manager and in which directory can I find the xsession script?  Also what 
is the proper way of setting the DISPLAY enviornment variable?
