Thanx for all the responses, although they were not of much use to me...
All who responded to my question about Wabi 2.0 in combination with virtual
window managers, suggested I should use olvwm!!! I checked, and indeed it works
very good with olvwm, but you can't run olvwm on a tektronix terminal...
(sorry for not mentioning this, I realised it when I got the first responses).

If somebody has any constructive suggestions about using Wabi with tvtwm or
fvwm, please let me know! I will appreciate it :-)))

Thanks and greetings,

Ron
