Pop-up menus

To see the pop-up menus, press one of the mouse buttons while the mouse cursor is located in the root (grey background) window.

The first menu is reached by pressing the left mouse button, while the mouse cursor is in the root window. It is labeled Window Options. This menu contains things you can do, such as Refresh the screen, Focus on a window, Move or Destroy a Window, Show or Hide the Icon Manager Window(usually located in the upper right corner of your screen), Reread the .twmrc file (useful if you've made some changes and you want to see the results without logging out and back in), and Exit TWM, the Tom's Window Manager program.

The second pop-up menu, reached by pressing the center mouse button while the cursor is located in the root window, is the Hosts menu. With this menu you can open a window on a particular computer host, such as Sirius, Jove, Csqr, Odin, or the PSU library, if you have an account on that machine. You will be given a login prompt for typing in your account name and password.

The third menu, reached with the right mouse button, is the Applications menu, giving you the option of opening certain applications, such as a calculator, a man page reader, a mail reader (elm), etc. Not all of these work on every machine. Xman is one that you may want to take notice of. It opens a window in which you can look at man pages.
