commented it so as to explain what each line is doing! (it's simple!)
exec rxvt -fg yellow -bg black -pixmap /home/chuck/porttree.xpm -T 'ws.moongroup
.org -Main' &
#the previous line sets up an xterm (rxvt is an xterm clone which
supports colored backgrounds)
exec ical &
#the previous line runs my calendar program on bootup of the WM
#exec fvwm
#the previous line is commented out... it runs the fvwm WM if it's not
commented out!
exec afterstep
#the previous line executes the AfterStep WM and should be the last
line in the file
Additionally there is an excellent AfterStep mailing list available...
Here's a bunch of URL info on that:
WWW: http://www.afterstep.org/
FTP: ftp://ftp.afterstep.org/
