Try setting the environment variable CDS_DEFAULT_BROWSER to firefox. I
think cdsdoc pays attention to that

Try cdsdoc instead of openbook.

Sample bindkeys files are in <CD****er>/tools/dfII/samples/local.
Also, cdsdoc has a lot of stuff on that. And the do***entation is also
available through sourcelink, as far as I know.

Yes. hi == Human Interface. ge == Graphics Editor. I forget what dmb
is.
le == Layout Editor. etc.

Lets says the variable name is StringVar. You can do:
MyWindowName = strcat( "prefix " StringVar " postfix" )
or
MyWindowName = sprintf( nil "prefix %s postfix" StringVar )
for example.

That I don't know (I'm a GUI person).

CIW menus should be initialized with the ciw.menus file.
hiCreateSimpleMenu()
just creates the menu, you have to use hiAddBannerMenu() to add it to a
window, but you really want to set up the ciw.menus files, since that
tends
to override what's place programmatically. The menus files are all in
<CD****er>/tools/dfII/etc/tools/menus.

No.

Partly experience, partly do***entation, partly looking at the log file...
