Sfinx TWM

If the user installs SfinxLite on his or her account, but wishes to continue using the OldSfinx TWM system, he or she has to make sure that a line reading
xtwmrc
(with possibly some options) exists in the .packages file. Since this is the case for most accounts that had the OldSfinx system installed, no action is needed.

However, one might consider switching to the SfinxLite system, using the preprocessor features in the .twmrc.m4 file that is installed at the same time that SfinxLite was installed. In order to enable the use of this file, just comment out the xtwmrc line in the .packages file (put a # before it). Again, no further action is needed, since the SfinxLite setup will look a lot like the OldSfinx TWM system.

Under the standard Sfinx TWM configuration, the following items can be identified on your screen :

There are a few keyboard shortcuts, but not on all systems (yet).
