        !            24: .PP
        !            25: The \fIuwm\fP command is a window manager client 
        !            26: application of the window 
        !            27: server.
        !            28: .PP
        !            29: When the command is invoked, it traces a predefined search path
        !            30: to locate any \fIuwm\fP startup files.  If no startup files
        !            31: exist, \fIuwm\fP initializes its built-in default file.
        !            32: .PP
        !            33: If startup files exist in any of the following locations,
        !            34: it adds the variables to the default variables.  
        !            35: In the case of contention, the variables in the last file found
        !            36: override previous specifications.  Files in the \fIuwm\fP
        !            37: search path are:
        !            38: .sp

        !            41: .PP
        !            42: To use only the settings defined in a single startup file,
        !            43: include the variables, \fBresetbindings\fP, \fBresetmenus\fP, 
        !            44: \fBresetvariables\fP
