I often go along without paying much attention to how full my minidisk
that contains * NOTEBOOK is getting.  The result is that I sometimes
can't exit MAIL without "Disk Full" occurring and all the nuisances that
follow.  For those who like idiot lights, include the following two
lines in your MAILUSER XEDIT:

ARG screenMode
IF screenMode = "MENU" THEN "MACRO NBCHECK"

where NBCHECK XEDIT is the following exec:

/**/
nbdisk = "E"                              /* Where the NOTEBOOKs are. */
nblim = 85                        /* Warn if nbdisk is <nblim>% full. */
ADDRESS CMS "QUERY DISK" nbdisk "(LIFO"
PULL . . . . . . . . "-"pct rmn .; PULL
IF pct >= nblim THEN
 COMMAND "MSG Warning!  Notebook disk" pct"% full;" rmn "blocks remain."
EXIT 0
