I found a problem (bug) with mushview. If I do:
f + $;<some command>
it fails miserably. Here's the exact example I used:
cmd updend "update -N;potm;f + $;sVecho '\033]I/u0/dv/=images/nomail.icon\033\0134\c'"
The important part is the "f + $;sVecho '...'" part. The error I get from
it is:
Illegal variable name.
Here's a simple example of it (with a debug level of 10):
Msg 260 of 260: f + $ ; echo hi
Working on: f + $ ; echo hi
Made argv: (f) (+) ($) (;) (echo) (hi)
Working on: f + $ ; echo hi <------- here the crux
Illegal variable name. <------- of the problem
Msg 260 of 260: f + $
Working on: f + $
Made argv: (f) (+) ($)
Working on: f + $
Made argv: (f) (+) ($)
executing: (f) (+) ($)
get_msg_list: parsing: ($): parsed 1 args
260 > 3:34pm Aug 21, 3:34pm 7/143
freeing: (f) (+) ($)
Msg 260 of 260:
Version I'm running is Mail User's Shell (6.5.6 8/11/89)
