I'm using mush 6.5.6 on a Sequent Symmetry running Dynix 3.0.15 .
The program development environment which we use at Sussex is called
Poplog, and the principle language involved is pop11. This is
accessed using the UNIX command "pop11". Unfortunately, mush won't
deal with UNIX commands that contain numbers in their name (or
anywhere in the path: if you're unlucky enough to have
/user2/cogs/jasonh as your home directory, you can't run commands in
your directory tree using their full pathnames). So I can't run
pop11 from mush, as it thinks I'm trying to run a UNIX command
called "pop". This would seem to be an error in the way mush
itemises text on the command line --

    a) has anyone else had this problem, or is it just me?

    b) If it is a bug, how about a fix? My C is not really up
    to it... :-)


Many thanks,

Jason
