I originally used the tool =interface to mush, but discovered that this interface lacks A LOT of =the functionality of the curses interface. I found that I actually =prefer the curses interface. The only problem with this interface is =that I no longer get instant notification of my incoming mail. My solution for this is to run the "newmail" program from the elm distribution. I start it in my .profile before it fires up suntools. The messages that is produces when new mail arrives cause my "contool" to flash. -- Larry Blair ames!vsi1!lmb lmb@vicom.com
