Work like a champ! I just tore out the startup section - changed the processes to ones I want...and away we go. It looks like Sawfish starts them up itself. I still kinda confused about the process involved but whatever...it works :) Maybe I missed it but I would think this info should be **somewhere** on the Wiki...or mailing list?? After seeing the code...my desire to never dabble in Lisp has been reinforced :) Thanks so much for all your help Frank --
