Terminal

This menu offers the user to open an xterm window locally or on a remote system on our local network (this pops up an alphabetically sorted list of local hosts).

For remote hosts, select Telnet. The Rent-A-Window feature allows to open a window under a different user name (provided you have the password of course).

Editor

This offers a choice of editor programs, some of which are real X applications, whereas others run inside an xterm window.

Mail

This pops up a menu with e-mail applications, some of which run inside an xterm window.

This menu also contains the controls for the xmailflag program, a modified version of xbiff that is able to bring up your favorite mail application as soon as new mail arrives.

Filemanager

This menu contains some entries to start up a file manager. Unfortunately, the choice of file managers is rather system-dependent, so not all entries will work on every machine.

Calculator

This offers a choice of calculator programs.

Clock
