Name
       dxue - DECwindows user executive

Syntax
       dxue [ options ]

Description
       The  dxue  command provides a window that lets you access the ULTRIX programming environment and DECwindows applications.  In addition, you
       can expand the selection of commands by modifying existing or adding new dxue menus.

       When started, dxue creates a text file in your home directory named .ue_profile.  When you make modifications to the dxue  interface,  dxue
       records those changes in this file.

Options
       -bd color	   Specifies  the  color  of  the window's border (color displays only).  The default is specified by means of the Session
			   Manager's Customize Window dialog box.

       -bg color	   Specifies the color of the window's background (color displays only).  The default is specified by means of the Session
			   Manager's Customize Window dialog box.

       -d dispname	   Specifies  the display screen on which dxue displays its window.  If the display option is not specified, dxue uses the
			   display screen specified by your DISPLAY environment variable.  The display	option	has  the  format  hostname:number.
			   Using  two  colons  (::) instead of one (:) indicates that DECnet is to be used for transport.  The default is :0.  For
			   more information, see

       -display dispname   This option is the same as the -d option.

       -fg color	   Specifies the color of the window's foreground (color displays only).  The default is specified by means of the Session
			   Manager's Customize Window dialog box.

       -fn font 	   Specifies the font used when displaying text.

       -geometry	   Specifies  the  width,  length,  and  location  of the dxue window.	If the geometry option is not specified, dxue uses
			   default values.  The geometry option has the format [widthxlength][{+-}x{+-}y].  For more information about the  screen
			   coordinate system, see

Main Window
       In  the	dxue  window, the Full Directory Path field displays the name of your current default directory.  The current directory appears in
       italics in the Directories list box.  You can change directories by selecting a directory name from the Directories list box.   The  Filter
       field  contains	the  file  name pattern to which the files shown in the Files subwindow conform.  An empty Filter field indicates that all
       files in the current directory are displayed.  The current directory and its displayed files are called the current view.

       There are three methods for performing file operations.	You can select one or more files and then choose one of the items from	the  Files
       menu  to  apply	to  those files.  You can also position the pointer on a file name and press MB2 (the middle mouse button, unless you have
       redefined it); you then choose a file operation from the pop-up menu that appears.  The dxue application also  defines  default	operations
       for  various  types of files; you perform the default operation by positioning the pointer on a file name and double-clicking MB1 (the left
       mouse button, unless you have redefined it). To view or change the default file operations, choose the Double Click  Actions...	menu  item
       from the Customize menu.

Restrictions
       Help is not implemented.

X Defaults
       The dxue application uses the values in the .Xdefaults file when you logged in and uses the appropriate resource specification to customize
       the appearance or characteristics of its displayed dxue window.	The format for a resource specification in the .Xdefaults file is:

       [name*]resource:    value

       name	 Specifies the application name or the name string that restricts the resource assignment to that application or to a component of
		 an application.  If this argument is not specified, the resource assignment is globally available to all X applications.

       resource  Specifies the resource.

       value	 Specifies the value that is to be assigned to the resource.

       For more information, see

       Because	each  toolkit-based application can consist of a combination of widgets (for example, push buttons and a scroll bar), you can form
       the name string by adding widget class and name identifiers to the string.  For further information about adding  class	and  name  identi-
       fiers, see
