Thanks for the reply about new mail - your suggestions seem to have worked.
Now, I have two others:

1) The "printer" variable seems to be getting ignored; I set it to "lq"
and print jobs still go to "lp" on issuing the command "lpr" from mush
(V7.1.1, MicroVAX II Ultrix 2.0-1).

2) In curses mode, if we run any startup procedures with the "-F" flag
on the UNIX command line, no menu is displayed, but commands still work.
I've looked through the man page at the variables, but found nothing that
controls this.  Have I missed something?

These are minor, considering the number of things I *do* like about mush! :-)

Please reply by e-mail, because news here expires too quickly to count on me
reading a reply here.
