My original plea for help was:
*********************************************************
System: Solaris 2.4, OpenWin 3.3###
I have looked everywhere for an answer to this request and have
come up empty. Maybe it is not possible to change. Not a
mission critical request- just one of those nagging user
requests.
I have a user who would like to change the speed that the cursor
moves when the arrow keys are pressed and held in things like
mailtool, shelltool, X apps etc.
I thought there should be a common solution for the Openwin
apps like mailtool and shelltool but I haven't found it.
Anyone know how to speed up the cursor ( I must admit that
there have been times when I would like to do this also )??
###That brings up another question! Besides the startup banner,
how can I determine which version of OW is running?

Ric Anderson and Michael Sullivan hit on the answer squarely. Thanks
guys!

Check out the man page for "Xsun" which is what the openwin script
runs as I recall. I think fiddling ar1 and ar2 will get what you
want. The default is ar1=5 milliseconds before repeats start, and
ar2=50 milliseconds between repeats. Reducing ar2 should speed
up the rep rate.
For David Mac Manus and Trevor Paquette- now you know!

For Solaris 2.4 the version of Openwindows
can be determined by the 'showrev -a' command
which prints system, windowing and patch information
I don't know how to change the cursor speed.

As far as I know the only that you can do with keyboard repeat is to turn it
on or turn it off
xset r on
xset r off
