yes, but the manual is in .ps format - i can't deal w/that format. pdf of
html would be more accesable for me. why'd they do that? - there's an html

questions all over the place.

elaborate please, i have been playing w/xvidtune, but i need more...there's
also a config file too of course. where's WMPrefs - is it one of those 3
icons by default on the upper right? played w/that. you into some straight
100 proof WM questions? I posted them on the WM mail list tonite.

i'll keep at it then, but i was a little freaked by the lack of amazon.com
like docs. for it. all the unix people are saying it's the best bet.
