Joe,
The files go_dm or go_fv are usually copies of the .profile file and are made
executable so that they can be run. The .profile is run when a user named "ia"
logs into the AW. The executable files go_dm, etc are usually modified to suit
custom needs such as eliminating the printer or perhaps stopping a blink task
from running for the remote display.
The associated dmcfg file will aso have to contain the names of your additional
DM's and whether they are floating or dedicated.
