Important CDE Setting

If you are running the CDE in HP-UX 10.2, there is an important change you must make to your /etc/dt/config/C/sys.resources file which affects the way "cut & paste" and "drag & drop" work. If you do not make this change, you may encounter unexpected results when running GARP.

Here are the steps:

  1. Edit the file /etc/dt/config/C/sys.resources. If you do not have a sys.resources file in the /etc/dt/config/C directory, copy the default one from /usr/dt/config/C/sys.resources.

  2. Find the resource: 
    
*enableBtn1Transfer:                  button2_transfer
  3. Change the "button2_transfer" setting to "False" 
    
 !*enableBtn1Transfer:                  button2_transfer
 *enableBtn1Transfer:                    False
    (Note, the spaces in these lines are really tabs.)

  4. Save the change.
