  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!
