Selecting new group while in HP-CDE

Does anyone know how to change groups while in HP-CDE (Hewlett-Packard Common Desktop Environment)? Quite often when I am logged in as regular user I want to edit a file that requires root permissions. I need to change groups to allow this. The only way that I have found of doing this so far is to open a hpterm window and issue the unix command 'newgrp'. Because the 'newgrp' that I specified only applies to child processes I am forced into using 'vi' as an editor. That is not what I want. I want to use the CDE editor. I hate 'vi'! Can anyone help me on this so that my 'newgrp' applies to my CDE environment? Thank you

re: Selecting new group while in HP-CDE

Yes, If your on an HP system, then your administrator (possibly yourself), can setup a file in /etc called "logingroup" and link it to /etc/group ( or something like that). This allowsa ll the groups that your in to act like your primary group. I think this is an HP/UX specific feature. If you need more details email me... -Chris
