If a reader had hope to find a few more tidbits regarding TWM:
This is the ultimate VL5.9 TWMrc
use "?" on window title for icon manager plus.
use min, max (double click restore), close and resize
left button hold for menu with lock and screenshot
right button hold for preferences with mounts, sys, and wallpaper or use
edit.twmrc to add what you like.
ultimate is relative..if there is something better I eager to see it

copy/paste to note and save as .twmrc in home directory-login to twm
