} I am using mush 7.0.1 under SunOS 4.0.3 on SPARCs and Sun3.

Mush 7.0 and earlier took the view that the user should be responsible
for exiting with "exit" (as opposed to "quit") in *any* situation where
the folder should not be updated.  This is somewhat silly in the case
of a read-only folder, and furthermore was partially broken in tool
mode.  Version 7.1 has changed this to the more obvious behavior.  You
can pick up 7.1 by anonymous ftp from:

    cse.ogi.edu: pub/mush/mush-7.1.tar.Z
or
    ucbvax.berkeley.edu: pub/mailers/mush-7.1.tar.Z

I haven't looked lately to see if ucbvax still has a copy, but cse.ogi
definitely does.
