Hi,
If you mean just poping out an X-window in CDE -can do the following :
===================
STRING=”YOUR NEWS GO HERE”
# Create temp script:
echo "#!/bin/sh \necho \`date +\"%T\"\` \\n \"$STRING\" > /msg_tmp
chmod 777 /msg_tmp
# Kill existing dialog
kill -9 `ps -ef | grep "sh -c /msg_tmp" |grep -v grep |awk '{print $2}'` > /dev/null 2>&1
# Execute in window
TERM_TYPE=`echo $TERM`
if ps –ef|grep xinit |grep –v grep > /dev/null ;then
aixterm -T "$TITLE" –fn typeB18 -bg $BG -fg $FG -cr $CR -geometry 80x$ROWS+40+40 -e /bin/sh -c /msg_tmp &
else #vt term
echo "echo \"\n\n\"" > msg_tmp.vt
grep -v read /msg_tmp >> msg_tmp.vt 2>/dev/null # lose the line that pauses for input
echo "echo \"\n\n\"" >> msg_tmp.vt
chmod 777 /msg_tmp.vt
/msg_tmp.vt
fi

Hi,
What I want is, I want to send, say a message, to the users in the network. I can copy the message in the directory /var/news and when the user logs in, it will always display in the terminal if I give a command "news -a" in the /etc/profile. But in CDE it is not poping up. In this case, to pop up in CDE, where I have to put the message.
Thank you.

That's what I meant.
You should put your srtring in the variable :
STRING=”YOUR NEWS GO HERE”
The above section is part of the kornshell script that does the x-windows pop-up in CDE environment.
Just run it and see that it works,that what I do here.
At the top of the script add line:
#!/bin/ksh
"Long live king Moshiach !"
