Thank you for the responses and suggestions Terry and Foxpat. I have
solved one of my problems. The Remote Clients do now open in the
initial environment configured in the TYPE defined in the dmcfg file as
Terry described. The secret was in the fv_cmds file. I was calling a
specific Initial Environment ($OPTFOX/env/Initial.env) for all DMs
instead of allowing each to startup in its own configured environment
($ENV1). I had to comment / uncomment the lines as below and all is
well.
#$SYSDIR/Change_Env/Init_Env # call in initial environment
#$OPTFOX/env/Initial.env # call in initial environment
$ENV1 #call in configured first environment
#$FVENV1 #call in the configured FoxView first environment
I still have a question on using the passwd DM Command. Does anyone
know if this command works in FoxView? Every time I try to use this
command the script just hangs. If I were to take (an uneducated) guess,
it appears it is trying to open a dialog box that does not exist or does
not work on my Windows Foxview system.
Thanks again for the help,

Tom,
Your dmcfg file has to retain all of the text of the Foxboro default
dmcfg file but you can modify it.
Add a TYPE for the three dedicated FV's and ensure that each starts in
its own inital environment although the name does not have to be
Inital_env. You then have to set up all the other lines of a dmcfg file.
Do not allow any of the three to access the other's environment without
a password which obviously the three have to keep their passwords to
themselves. We have done this many times for supplementary operators who
were permitted to view displays but were not permitted to set any
values.
Terry
