I'm not sure if you really need that file, I might be that it is not available if you installed the machine without network.
CDE needs proper name resolution and the standard order after a fresh installation is DNS -> /etc/hosts -> NIS/NIS+
So if your system is not yet registered in the DNS, the hostname cannot be resolved and CDE does not start. So you have to switch this order to /etc/hosts -> DNS -> [...]. You can use sam for that in single user mode.
Go to "Networking and Communications" -> "Name Service Switch" and then see the order at "hosts". First source should be "/etc/hosts".

If you're on the console (ITE) or on an HP terminal this is because "ASCII 8 bit mode" is enabled. You can turn it off in the setup menu, which you can access through the function keys:

- Press Numlock
-> the yellow boxes on the bottom of screen change their description
- F8 config keys
- F5 terminal config
- go with TAB to "ASCII 8 Bits"
- set with F2 to "Yes"
- save with F1

DtWsmAddWorkspaceFunctions(library call)								  DtWsmAddWorkspaceFunctions(library call)

NAME
DtWsmAddWorkspaceFunctions -- add workspace functions for a window SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Wsm.h> void DtWsmAddWorkspaceFunctions( Display *display, Window window); DESCRIPTION
The DtWsmAddWorkspaceFunctions function enables workspace functions for a window. When workspace functions are enabled, the default window menu for the window displayed by the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), shows entries that allow the window to occupy a different set of workspaces, occupy all workspaces, or be removed from the current workspace. The display argument is the X display. The window argument is the window to have its workspace functions enabled. RETURN VALUE
The DtWsmAddWorkspaceFunctions function returns no value. APPLICATION USAGE
The application must call the DtWsmAddWorkspaceFunctions function before mapping the window. The CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), only looks at the workspace function information at the time the workspace manager manages the window. If the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is currently managing the window, the application must withdraw the window (see XWithdrawWindow(3)), add the workspace functions, and map the window once again. By default, the workspace manager enables workspace functions. The application should call DtWsmAddWorkspaceFunctions to restore the workspace functions removed by the DtWsmRemoveWorkspaceFunctions(3) function. SEE ALSO
Dt/Wsm.h - DtWsm(5), XWithdrawWindow(3), dtwm(1), DtWsmRemoveWorkspaceFunctions(3). DtWsmAddWorkspaceFunctions(library call)
