<h1>Running xmh</h1>
<p>
The command to start <i>xmh</i> looks something like this:
<pre>
% <b>xmh -display <i>foobar</i>:0.0 -geometry 660x460+200+5 &</b>
</pre>
That command opens a 660x460-pixel <i>xmh</i> window close to the
top of the 0 display on screen 0 of the
host <tt><i>foobar</i></tt>. If you have both monochrome and color
screens, the monochrome screen may give you a faster response.
The <i>-geometry</i> setting makes a different <i>xmh</i> window
size than the default. If you want the default size, leave out
the <tt>660x460</tt> in that command line. If you want the window
in a different place, change the <tt>+200+5</tt>. Your window
manager probably lets you place the window yourself -- in that
case, you can omit the position completely. The Sections
<a href="comliop.html">Command-line Options</a> and
<a href="resfun.html">Changing How Commands Work</a> list other
<i>xmh</i> command-line options and explain how to store your
favorite geometry settings as defaults.
<p>
To start <i>xmh</i> now, you can type the command line in
an <i>xterm</i> window. If you want an <i>xmh</i> window to open
automatically whenever you start X, add that line to your startup
file (like <i>.xsession</i>). If your window manager has a menu
and <i>xmh</i> isn't on the menu, you might add it.
