Using MGR right now -- thanks!

A few questions before I dive into the source & documentation --

- SIGWINCH.  Do changes in window size send this signal out?
  I don't see any evidence of it, though it would be useful
  for things like hpmgr.

- /bin/ksh.  My poor stupid sun doesn't have it, 'menu' uses it.
  In the case of menu, it works with /bin/sh just fine -- any
  one else who has experience converting the shell scripts over
  to executables for the crowd without /bin/ksh (like on the
  ST) would be good to speak up.  

- keyboard mappings.  I hate mice.  Is there a nice way to rebind
  keys on the keyboard to do things equivalent to mouse movements,
  pop up menus, or menu command options?  I see ways to predefine
  windows (window-set IDs) for left-1 through left-9, so that might
  be adequate for now.
