I'm the culprit when it comes to installing anything. The only thing I had
changed in the MUSHRC from Mail User's Shell (7.1.2 7/11/90) was I unset hold
that is defined in the Mail.rc files.
That's what I get for not reading the *&^^(*^% default files. Commenting out
the line (and READING the &*^%@# Mushrc file) I found:
# Hitting <CR> should do nothing (helps make mush more shell-like). If
# newline is not set, hitting <CR> prints the next message (like Mail).
# This variable could be set to any mush command.
#set newline
Thank you for you help!
