PART ONE:

   well, i advise u to read all the possible docs u can find in the
 distribution, look into the config files already pre-made (they're in
 /usr/share/afterstep and/or in ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/) and experiment.
 also visit 
    http://www.via.ayuda.com/~smw/afterstep/home.html 
 for some reading about configuring the look & feel of afterstep. also be
 *sure* to try to find answers to your problems in the mailing list

PART TWO:
   i think it could be a great thing if all newbies to afterstep mailing
 list got a mail with FAQ. this list will be free of such common questions
 of newbie redhat users then. what do u guys think?
