CDE "hot key" having diff running program

Hey Gang,

I have placed the following line in the /etc/dt/config/C/sys.dtwmrc file ...

Print window f.exec "xwd | /opt/graphics/common/bin/xwd2sb | /opt/graphics/common/bin/pcltrans -I -q | lp -oraw -onb "

...It HAD been working (I.E. Whenever the print screen button was pressed it brought up an xwd cursor, which when clicked on a window, sent that window to the default printer.

NOW, when you hit the print screen button, the xwd cursor comes up, but after clicking on the window, nothing happens.

If I cut and paste the command part of the line, I.E. the ...

xwd | /opt/graphics/common/bin/xwd2sb | /opt/graphics/common/bin/pcltrans -I -q | lp -oraw -onb

...part, it works fine.

Nothing that we know has changed in the CDE or any other config.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Mike

NEVERMIND! I forgot that the sys.dtwmrc is only used to create the users home dtwmrc. After updating the sys.dtwmrc, I deleted the users dtwmrc, logged back in using CDE and everything worked fine.

I still do not know what the key which I had PREVIOUSLY programmed stopped working before I made ANY of these changes, however deleting and recreating the dtwmrc file seemed to have fixed that too.

Thanks anyway!
Mike
