They are saved in "~/.dt/sessions/home/" folder
The main file is  ~/.dt/sessions/home/dt.session

(under ~/.dt/sessions) and create a new "home" folder.  So, link home to my
~/bin/tdat will not work.

The -geometry is only refered from top-left. When I changed them to -##, the
locations are weird.

DISPLAY       set to the value of the first field in the Xservers file

EDITOR        set to the desktop default editor

HOME         set to the user's home directory (from /etc/passwd)

KBD_LANG     set to the value of $LANG for some languages (see
               Xsession)

LANG          set to the display's current NLS language (if any)

LC_ALL,       set to the value of $LANG
LC_MESSAGES

LOGNAME     set to the user name

MAIL          set to ``/var/mail/$USER''

PATH          set to the value of the Dtlogin ``userPath'' resource

USER          set to the user name

SHELL         set to the user's default shell (from /etc/passwd)

TERM          set to dtterm

TZ            set to the system's zone or to the value of the Dtlogin
               ``timeZone'' resource

NOTE

Errors in .dtprofile or .profile (.login) may prevent a successful
login. If so, log in via the failsafe session and correct the error. To
see errors in a failsafe session, view the $HOME/.dt/startlog file.

NOTE

If a terminal emulator is started with the -ls option, .login or
.profile will be read automatically.

To Log In

The topics include:

Customizing system initialization, login, and session initiation
Troubleshooting login and session startup problems
Adding applications and providing interface representations for applications and their data
Configuring desktop processes, applications, and data across the network
Setting up miscellaneous configurations
Customizing desktop services such as window management, printing, colors, and fonts

A session is the collection of applications, settings, and
resources present on the user's desktop. Session management is a
set of conventions and protocols that enables Session Manager to
save and restore a user's session. A user is able

to log in to the system and be presented with the same set of
running applications, settings, and resources as were present
when the user logged off. When a user logs in to the desktop for
the first time, a default initial session is loaded. Afterward,
Session Manager supports the notion of a current and a home
session.

When a user logs in to the desktop for the first time, Session
Manager will generate the user's initial session using system
default values. By default, the File Manager and Introduction to
the Desktop, a help volume, will start.

Session Manager is started through /usr/dt/bin/Xsession. When
the user logs in using the Login Manager, Xsession is started by
default.

Optionally, the user can log in using the traditional character
mode (getty) login, and start Session Manager manually using
tools that start an X server, such as xinit. For example: xinit
/usr/dt/bin/Xsession.

When Session Manager is started, it goes through the following
steps to start the user's session:

Xsession is able to source a user's traditional
HomeDirectory/.profile or HomeDirectory/.login scripts. By
default this capability is disabled. To tell Xsession to source
the .profile or .login script, set DTSOURCEPROFILE to true.

To change DTSOURCEPROFILE for all users, create an
/etc/dt/config/Xsession.d script that sets the new value. To set
DTSOURCEPROFILE to true for all users, create an executable sh
or ksh script, for example /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/myvars, and
set DTSOURCEPROFILE as follows:

This section covers:

+ Setting environment variables
+ Setting resources
+ Using display-dependent sessions
+ Running scripts at login
+ Recovering a back-up session
