Well, I took the plunge into MiNT last night, got it and MGR up and running, and have a few questions. 1. The mouse was very hard to control. Is this normal? It would sort of lag behind my movements, then catch up , and just be very ornery about things. 2. In mgr, I was able to get font to change the fonts, but browse kept on saying there were no icon files found, even though I explicitly stated the path to the icon folder. Any ideas on this one? 3. I am not sure what I am missing to get mgrterm to work. It simply does nothing on my screens window where I run it. I am not exactly sure what to do with TERMCAP and the like, any help here? I am using the init, and init.rc from Mr. Pratt's file, and changed the drives in the .rc to reflect where mine were, but did not see anything concerning TERM orTERMCAP in them. Basically I would like to be able to open a window in vt100 mode to connect to our vm/cms system here, and the unix boxes, but I HAVE to have vt100 for the 3090. So, basically, IS there a term for mgr to handle this, and if so anyone care to go through what I need to do to get it to work? 4. Editors, well, I have used vi, micro-emacs, etc, but would anyone have any reccomendations on which ST editor I should use in mint and mgr? 5. Same question as above but with shells, as I said, using init right now, but could use bash tcsh or ksh, but would like to hear reccomendations from folks out there before going through the hassle of setting them all up and testing. And finally, anywhere out there have even further docs on mint and the utils for it, other than what is included in the package? Thanks in advance! ------------------ J.J.
