I have some questions about v.digit. I have grass 4.1 installed over a
RS/6000 with AIX 3.1.Fist. Is it possible to have the text window always activated? If I press a
button over the graphics window, Motif naturally activates it, and I have to
switch to the other window in order to give commands. I think that
a behavior like this can be changed for a special client through the
.Xdefaults file, or some file like that. I have tested a bit, but without
success. If someone has a solution, it would be great for the daily work with
v.digit.Second. It was not possible to set up a Summagraphics IV Digitizer table to
run with v.digit. I have tried the Calcomp Driver, setting the table to
emulate it, but without a positive result. v.digit exits abnormally after
registering the control points. Does anyone have a Summagraphics driver, or
have used v.digit with a summagraphics?Many thanks in advance,

If you are using a xterm window for your text then there are two
ways to do this. If you are using something else then there is only
one.
1) Move the mouse into the xterm window. Press the cntrl button and
the left mouse button at the same time. This will bring a menu up.
Select "Secure Keyboard" from this menu. This will reverse your
video and all keyboard presses will be directed to this xterm window.
As you move the mouse the window manager will still select other
windows, but key presses will still go to the same xterm window.
Repeat procedure to unselect.
2) You can change the selection procedure in the .Xdefaults file.
I do not know what the resource is for AIX, but it should be
something like this:
OpenWindows.SetInput: followmouse
That is what is currently set. Change this to read:
OpenWindows.SetInput: select
Now you will have to click the mouse button in whatever window
you wish to type in.
Check out your X manuals for exact procedures/resources.
