Hello
I installed enlightenment and added a line in my xinitrc script and the
program loaded fine. But when I try to comment or delete the enlightenment
line to access my other window managers, enlightenment continues to boot up.
Could someone let me know how I can access my other window managers and have
enlightenment as an option only

You are editing the .xinitrc file in your home dir? There is also a default
xinit file in /etc/X11/xinit that is probably being accessed.

I am editing the default file in the /etc/X11/xinit/... The problem must be
elsewhere

Check to see if you have a .xinitrc or .Xclients file in
your home directory. These files take priority over
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc or /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients.

There are several programs available which will allow you to select from
multiple window managers on startup. The one I use is called guichooser.
When you startx, guichooser runs and gives you a panel with pushbuttons on
it which you can use to start & run any WM you have configured on your
system. When you exit a WM, the panel pops up and you can start another WM
or exit X. Sure beats having to reconfigure your .xinitrc file!

That's it, you must edit your home dir .xinitrc, not /etc/X11 ....
