Hi Sean,

Welcome to the list :)  I was introduced to AS at 1.4.5 and as far as I
know, .steprc is a thing of the past.  A good place to start looking for
answers for your questions is the mailing list archive at the AS website.
There, you could do a search by subject and you'll likely find your
answers.

As for your questions, you should have a /usr/share/afterstep dir and
you'll find many of the config files such as wharf, which is used to be
called docks? and as well, autoexec, and etc...have a look at those and
you should have a get a good idea as to how AS is running, since you have
your own .steprc file you've been using.  The question about xdm, though,
sorry, I can't help you there.

With Best,

Steve
