Links loaded.  I can't test it without first copying over the lucent modem 
modules and device, but it works offline to view the pxm and jpg files. I 
like the new start menu.

The wm menu is much improved.  I liked all the access to things like top 
and du and df and the various setup programs.

I can cd to /usr/man, type d, and get a list of pages that I can then 
click on to read (with zless from links).  Is there some easy way to add 
to the menu a way to display this list with links?  I made a script that 
does the above and typed the name of the script in an rxvt.

The rxvt started from the menu does not find the alias 'd'.  Someone 
mentioned a way to start rxvt such that it logged into a shell and found 
aliases in /etc/profile.

The menu does not list wp, or e3pi.  The people I set up computers for 
liked wp for writing and printing things.

There is no man page for jwm.  I don't think it supports any keyboard 
navigation except Alt-F4 to close a window and ESC to close a menu.  But 
neither did swm.

My arrow keys do not navigate in JWM.

I have an 84-key keyboard and use the number pad arrow keys, by choice. 
(This puts the F keys where I am used to finding them, and closer to my 
hands).

They work for links in a console.  But in console mode I have no 
viewer.

Links can be used with a mouse when run in an xterm.
I numbered the links (using a mouse to access the menu).

The arrow keys do not work in e3pi run under X.
I can't use a mouse there instead.

In the old BL3 the arrow keys work correctly in X with icewm or swm.
I have not done any keymapping there.

How might I fix the arrow key problem?
