NAME
       tixMwm - Communicate with the Motif(tm) window manager.

SYNOPSIS
       tixMwm option pathName ?args?

COMMAND OPTIONS
       tixMwm decoration pathName ?option? ?value ...?
              When  no  options  are given, this command returns the values of
              all the decorations options for the  toplevel  window  with  the
              pathName.

              When  only one option is given without specifying the value, the
              current value of that option is returned.

              When more than one "option value" pairs are passed to this  com-
              mand, the specified values will be assigned to the corresponding
              options. As a result, the appearance of  the  Motif  decorations
              around the toplevel window will be changed.

              Possible  options  are:  -border,  -menu,  -maximize, -minimize,
              -resizeh and -title. The value must be a Boolean value. The val-
              ues  returned  by  this command are undefined when the window is
              not managed by mwm.

       tixMwm ismwmrunning pathName
              This returns true if mwm is running  on  the  screen  where  the
              specified window is located, false otherwise.

       tixMwm protocol pathName
              When  no  additional options are given, this command returns all
              protocols associated with this toplevel window.

       tixMwm protocol pathName activate protocol_name
              Activate the mwm protocol message in mwm's menu.

       tixMwm protocol pathName add protocol_name menu_message
              Add a new mwm protocol message for  this  toplevel  window.  The
              message  is  identified  by  the string name specified in proto-
              col_name. A menu item will be added into mwm's menu as specified
              by  menu_message.  Once a new mwm protocol message is added to a
              toplevel, it can be catched by the TK wm protocol command.  Here
              is an example:
              tixMwm protocol . add MY_PRINT_HELLO \
                  {"Print Hello"  _H Ctrl<Key>H}
              wm protocol . MY_PRINT_HELLO {puts Hello}

       tixMwm protocol pathName deactivate protocol_name
              Deactivate the mwm protocol message in mwm's menu.

       tixMwm protocol pathName delete protocol_name
              Delete  the  mwm  protocol  message from mwm's menu. Please note
              that the window manager protocol handler  associated  with  this
              protocol  (by  the wm protocol command) is not deleted automati-
              cally. You have to delete the protocol handle explicitly.  E.g.:
              tixMwm protocol . delete MY_PRINT_HELLO
              wm protocol . MY_PRINT_HELLO {}


BUGS
       On some versions of Mwm, the -border will not disappear unless -resizeh
       is turned off. Also, the  -title  will  not  disappear  unless  all  of
       -title, -menu, -maximize and -minimize are turned off.
