} This is pretty simple.  I'm using mush 7.2.2 and all I want to do is

}

}   do such-and-such-crap.

You can't do that in .mushrc, because .mushrc is read before the folder
has been loaded.

What you can do is create another file (e.g., .mushfilter) and put in
it something like

    :n | set new
    if $?new
	do such-and-such-crap
    endif

And then read it by using:

    mush -F ~/.mushfilter

Mush will read your regular init files, then load the folder, then read
the .mushfilter file, and finally continue into the regularly scheduled
user interface.

You may wish to have the last line of .mushfilter be

    headers

because the -F option implies -N (no headers).
