Looking over this older e-mail, I see how I could manually switch my
default WM, but how can I set it so that I can start any WM I want by
entering the right command.
I'm thinking of something like this -
startx for 'default' (kde in Mandrake)
AS for AfterStep
black for blackbox
etc, ad nausem.
TIA :) And happy T-Day to the Americans. :)
