Folks-
Thanks to the following for providing rapid answers to my question
about rc*.d scripts for starting xdm and openwin at boot time.

It turns out that the install Solaris doesn't create any scripts or
pointers in any of the rc*.d directories to start xdm or openwin at
boot time. I'll have to make some scripts myself to do this. Fortunately,
several of the above mentioned folks sent sample scripts to do this.

Thanks, again.
