I'm running slack at present locally and it's been a while since I
installed afterstep, but this should give you a good lead...
macker:/var/X11R6/lib# cat xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
# AfterStep v1.0 Default xinitrc
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
exec afterstep
I know I got afterstep setup under rh5 once before, but it's been a while
and I don't have an rh5 box with X on hand to play with to tell you...
