If the .mwmrc file is not in the users home directory, where do they get the .mwmrc file from? Is there a default location for the file?

Below is what some doc at IBM ( says. I found system.mwmrc in /usr/lib/X11. You use that file to create .mwmrc in the home directory.

If the configFile resource is not specified or if that file does not exist, the mwm command uses several default paths to find a configuration file. If the LANG environment variable is set, the mwm command looks for the configuration file first in the $HOME/$LANG/.mwmrc file. If that file does not exist or if the LANG environment variable is not set, the mwm command looks for the $HOME/.mwmrc file. If the $HOME/.mwmrc file does not exist and if the LANG environment variable is set, the mwm command next looks for the /usr/lib/X11/$LANG/system.mwmrc file. If the /usr/lib/X11/$LANG/system.mwmrc file does not exist or if the LANG environment variable is not set, the mwm command looks for /usr/lib/X11/system.mwmrc.
 
Thanks for the info, I will check to see if any of those files exist and I will also check out the website as well.

Thanks!
