Xand is reset each time the command
X.BR cd
Xis called.
XIt is referenced each time
X.B pwd
Xis called and may be used as any other shell variable.
X.TP
X.B date_received
X(Boolean)
XWhen message headers are printed, the date is normally shown is
Xthe time and date the sender sent the message. If this variable
Xis set, then the date displayed is the date received.
X.sp
XWhen sorting messages by date, this variable is queried to determine
Xwhether the messages should be sorted by date sent or date received.
X.sp
X\fBWarning:\fR For mailers that store messages \fIwithout\fR a line
Xthat starts with \*QFrom \*U, this option does nothing.
X.TP
X.B dead
X(String)
XFile to use instead of dead.letter when interrupted mail is saved.
XFor more information, see the variable
X.B nosave.
X.TP
X.B dot
X(Boolean)
XAccepts a `.' on a line by itself, in addition to `^D', to terminate messages.
X.TP
X.B editor
X(String)
XEditor to use when \*Q~e\*U is specified.
XDefault is the value of the variable
X.BR visual .
X.TP
X.B escape
X(Character)
XWhen composing a mail message (not in an editor), and the
X.B escape
Xcharacter is the first character on the line, the next character
Xis examined and a corresponding function associated with that
X.I "escape command"
Xis executed.
XSee
X.B "tilde escapes"
Xfor more information.
X.TP
X.B folder
X(String)
XThe folder variable is set to a path where folders are kept.
X\&~/Mail is the default value.
X.TP
X.B fortune
X(Boolean/string)
XIf fortune is set, a random fortune is appended to the end of
Xall outgoing mail using the
X.IR UNIX (TM)
Xcommand
X.B /usr/games/fortune
X(may vary from system to system).
XIf fortune is set to something that starts with
Xa `\-', then it is interpreted as a flag to fortune (e.g., \*Q\-o\*U).
XIf
X.B fortune
Xstarts with a `/', then the program described by
Xthe string is executed (thus not doing fortune at all, if you want).
XBy default,
X.I "fortune \-s"
X(short fortunes) is used.
X.TP
X.B fortunates
X(String)
XWhen fortunes are added to messages, sometimes it is desireable to
Xmake sure that only a selected group of people get a fortune since
Xcertain people may not understand the messages at the end of your
Xmail. Therefore, you can set a list of addresses (either pure addresses
Xor aliases that are expanded to addresses) to be the only people who
Xreceive fortunes if one is to be appended. Therefore,
Xif the To: and Cc: lines contain only address listed in this string
Xvariable, then a fortune is appended to the message.
XIf those lists contain names that are not on the fortunates
Xlist, then no fortune is added.
XThis cannot be overriden; using the
Xtilde command \*Q~F\*U does not force a fortune to be added unless the
Xindividuals on the recipient list are all included in the fortunates
Xlist. The list is made up of addresses or aliases separated by spaces or
Xcommas.
X.I "NOTE: fortune must be set in order for fortunates to work."
X.TP
X.B hdr_format
X(String)
XThis variable controls the format of the headers displayed by the
X.B headers
Xcommand and in the curses and graphics modes.
XThe format style of this variable string is similar to printf in C.
XWhen printing the information, the variable is evaluated and each
Xcharacter in the string is echoed unless a `%' character is
Xencountered.
XIf one is found, the following string substitutions are made:
X.sp
X.in +2
X.nf
X.ta 0.5i
X%a address of the author
X%c number of characters (bytes) in the message
X%f entire \*QFrom:\*U field (author)
X%l number of lines in the message
X%i the message-id (may not be present)
X%n name of the author
X%s subject of the message
X%t \*QTo:\*U field (recipients)
X%d entire date of the message
X%T the time only of the message
X%N the day number of the month of the message
X%W the day of the week (Sun, Mon, etc.)
X%M the month name of the message
X%Y the year of the message
X%y the last two digits of %Y
X\\n a newline
X\\t a tab
X.fi
X.in -2
X.sp
XA field width specifier may be used in all options.
XThus, \*Q%20f\*U will print the
Xfirst 20 characters of the from line.
XNo matter what the formatting string, the message number
Xfollowed by a `>' (for current message) is printed.
X.sp
XThe \*Qaddress\*U and \*Qname\*U of the author
Xare extracted from the \*QFrom:\*U field of the message.
XThe name may be given in parentheses and
Xthe rest of the line is the address, or the address is given in angle
Xbrackets (`<' and `>') and the rest of the line is the name.
XSometimes the address is the only thing on the line,
Xin which case the name and address are the same.
X.sp
X.TP
X.B history
X(Numeric)
XThis variable is set to the number of commands the shell interface
Xwill remember. It is just like the history variable used in
X.I csh.
XIf unset, the last command can always be referenced, but none other.
X.TP
X.B hold
X(Boolean)
XNormally, on termination of mail, read messages are saved in
Xyour mbox (except those marked as preserved).
XSetting
X.B hold
Xprevents this from happening,
Xand messages remain in /usr/spool/mail/user.
XThis does not apply to folders, obviously.
X.TP
X.B home
X(String)
XThis variable describes the user's home directory.
XThe variable is initialized to the value of the environment variable HOME,
Xbut can be modified at any time during the
X.I Mush
Xsession.
XThe home directory is the same directory where temporary
Xfiles are kept for editing and so forth.
XIf the home directory cannot be found or read/write access is denied, an
Xalternate directory, typically /tmp, is used.
X.TP
X.B hostname
X(String)
XThis is the name of your computer. Currently, its sole usage is to
Xcompose a correct \*QFrom:\*U line for use with Mail Transport Agents
Xthat do not create this header automatically. This will aid the
Xrecipients of your mail in replying to your messages.
X.sp
XNote: the user should not have to set
Xthis variable since it should be set automatically by the system. However,
Xit may happen that the system's hostname cannot be queried and the user may
Xhave to set this variable manually.
X.TP
X.B ignore_bang
X(Boolean)
XIf set,
X.I Mush
Xwill ignore the `!' character as a history reference.
X.TP
X.B ignoreeof
X(Boolean/string)
XIf set, `^D' will not exit from
X.IR Mush .
XIf set to a string, that string is executed as a command
Xwhen `^D' is typed.
XThis does not effect termination of messages under the
X.B mail
Xand
X.B reply
Xcommands.
X.TP
X.B indent_str
X(String)
XWhen including messages into the text of a letter you are editing,
Xeach line of the messages is preceded by the value of
X.BR indent_str .
XIf it is unset, the message body is indented by the string \*Q> \*U.
XSee also the variables
X.B pre_indent_str
Xand
X.BR post_indent_str .
X.TP
X.B in_reply_to
X(String)
XThis variable may be set to a string that will complete the
Xheader \*QIn-Reply-To:\*U.
XThe format of this string is identical to the options for the variable
X.BR hdr_format .
X.sp
XFor example, if the user were to respond to a message
Xfrom Dan Heller that was sent on October 21, 1987, at 10:39pm, with
X.B in_reply_to
Xset to the string
X.nf
X.in +2
X.sp
X%n's message as of %d.
X.sp
X.ti -2
Xthe header line
X.sp
XIn-Reply-To: Dan Heller's message as of Oct 21, 1987, 10:39pm.
X.in-2
X.fi
X.sp
Xwould be added to the message.
X.TP
X.B keepsave
X(Boolean)
XIf set, the commands
X.B save
Xand
X.B write
Xwill
X.I not
Xmark messages for deletion.
X.TP
X.B known_hosts
X(String)
XUsed in conjunction with the variable
X.BR auto_route ,
Xthis variable is set to a list of hosts, separated by spaces, tabs,
Xand/or commas, and describes
Xthe hosts with whom you know your machine shares UUCP connections.
XWhen replying to mail, many times you will see that the return path
Xconstructed will have hostnames that your site could call, but instead
Xthe mail has been routed through a number of different machines first.
X.sp
XFor example, if you respond to mail that would mail to the path
X.sp
X.ti +2
Xunicom!pixar!root
X.sp
Xbut your know your machine already calls pixar, then sending the mail
Xto unicom first is unnecessary.
XIf you have set your known_hosts string to include pixar in its list,
Xthe resulting address would look like
X.sp
X.ti +2
Xpixar!root
X.sp
XAlso see the command
X.B replyall
Xfor more information on constructing correct return addresses.
X.TP
X.B lister
X(String)
XDefault arguments to the \*Qls\*U command for printing the
Xcontents of a directory.
X.TP
X.B logfile
X(String)
XSet to a filename which logs the headers of outgoing messages. The message
Xbody of the message is not logged as it is for the
X.B record
Xfilename. The logfile can be read as a folder to scan for the fact that
Xmessages have been sent. If \fBlogfile\fR and \fBrecord\fR are both set,
Xthen the logfile and the record files will match exactly. In this case,
Xthe record file can be quickly scanned by scanning the log file instead.
X.sp
XIf set, but not to a string, the log file defaults to ~/mail.log.
X.TP
X.B mbox
X(String)
XSet to the pathname of a file you'd like mush to use as the default
Xholder for read mail.
XThe default is ~/mbox.
X.TP
X.B metoo
X(Boolean)
XWhen replying to mail, you are normally deleted from the list of
Xrecipients.
XIf metoo is set, you remain on the list.
XSee the
X.B alternates
Xcommand
Xfor information on determining whether or not you're even on the list.
X.TP
X.B mil_time
X(Boolean)
XWhenever the time is displayed in a message header or in the prompt,
Xit can be displayed in either 12-hour am/pm format, or in 24 hour
Xmilitary time format.
XThe default is the 12 hour format, but can be
Xreset to use the 24 hour format by setting this variable.
X.TP
X.B newline
X(Boolean/string)
XIf set, carriage returns are ignored.
XIf set to a string, that string is executed as a command when a
Xcarriage return is typed.
XOtherwise, carriage return prints the next undeleted message.
X.TP
X.B no_expand
X(Boolean)
XWhen a
X.I Mush
Xalias is used to reference a list of addresses, the list is expanded on
Xthe To: and Cc: lines to indicate the complete list of all the recipients of
Xthe message.
XWhen no_expand is set, aliases are not expanded and the headers
Xreflect the same information as typed by the user.
X.TP
X.B no_hdrs
X(Boolean)
XIf set, this variable tells
X.I Mush
Xnot to include your personalized mail headers in messages.
XThis does not unset your headers, it just disables them.
X.TP
X.B no_reverse
X(Boolean)
XIn curses mode and in the tool mode, reverse video is not used to indicate the
X.I "current message"
Xif this variable is set.
XIn the tool mode, if reverse video is not in use,
Xtext is displayed in \*Qbold\*U.
X.TP
X.B nonobang
X(Boolean)
XIf this variable is set, history references that don't match anything will
Xbe left unexpanded, rather than generating error messages.
XThis is useful if you want argument referencing in cmd expansions, but do
Xnot want to remember to escape every `!' you type in UUCP addresses.
XIt is also recommended for use with curses mode, because history is not
Xkept for line mode escapes from that interface.
X.TP
X.B nosave
X(Boolean)
XWhen composing a letter, the user can terminate the letter without sending
Xit by using the tidle escape \*Q~q\*U or by sending two \*Qinterrupt\*U
Xsignals.
XWhen the message is terminated, a copy of it is saved to the
Xfile \*Qdead.letter\*U in the user's home directory or to the file described
Xby the variable
X.BR dead .
XIf the variable
X.B nosave
Xis set, then a backup copy of the message will not be saved.
X.TP
X.B pager
X(String)
XIf a message is longer than the number of lines that the variable
X.B crt
Xis set to, then this program is executed to view a message.
XIf the user does not have this variable set, the user's environment PAGER
Xis checked.
XIf this isn't set, then the default value for pager (set up
Xby the system manager) is used.
XThis may or may not be the internal pager.
XTo use the internal pager, you may set the variable pager to
X.I internal
Xor to a null string.
X.TP
X.B pre_indent_str
X(String)
XIf this variable is set, when including the body of a message into an outgoing
Xmail message (using the \-i option to
X.I reply
Xor
X.IR mail ,
Xor when using the \*Q~i\*U escape),
Xa line preceding the first line of
Xincluded text is printed using the string value of the variable.
XThis string uses the same printf style formatting characters as the
X.B hdr_format
Xvariable.
XFor example, you could set
X.B pre_indent_str
Xas follows:
X.sp
X.ti +2
Xset pre_indent_str = '[In the message entitled "%s", on %7d\\n %n writes:]'
X.sp
XYou can then include a message body using \*Q~i\*U, and you might
Xget something like this:
X.sp
X.in +2
X.nf
X[In the message entitled "This is a test.", on Jan 19,
X Dan Heller writes:]
X> This is a test message to show how
X> pre_indent_str might be used.
X.ti -2
X.sp
X.fi
XThis example assumes that the string value of
X.B indent_str
Xis not set.
X.TP
X.B post_indent_str
X(String)
XThis variable has the same function as
X.B pre_indent_str
Xexcept that the string is inserted into the message body
X.I after
Xthe text of the included message rather than before.
XThe purpose of this variable is to complement the string described by
Xthe variables
X.B pre_indent_str
Xand
X.BR indent_str .
XFor example,
X.sp
X.in +2
X.nf
Xset pre_indent_str = "/*"
Xset indent_str = " * "
Xset post_indent_str = " */"
X.sp
X.ti -2
XAn included message might look something like this:
X.sp
X/*
X * This is a test message to show how
X * post_indent_str and pre_indent_str
X * can work together with indent_str.
X */
X.fi
X.in -2
X.TP
X.B printer
X(String)
XUsed to set the default printer for the lpr command.
X.TP
X.B print_cmd
X(String)
XThis string should describe a
X.IR UNIX (TM)
Xcommand other than "lpr" for sending
Xmessages to the line printer.
XSome people may choose to use a device independent
Xtroff style program, but virtually any UNIX command will suffice.
XCommon usage might include:
X.sp
X.ti +2
Xset print_cmd = 'ptroff \-ms \-Plp'
X.ti +2
Xlpr .\-$
X.sp
XThis command would send all messages from the current message to the last
Xmessage through the ptroff command, supplying the appropriate arguments.
X.TP
X.B prompt
X(String)
XYou can set your prompt to tell you many different pieces of information.
XBy default, the prompt is set to the string
X.sp
X.ti +2
X\*QMsg %m of %t: \*U
X.sp
XIf you have 10 messages and your current message is 5, then your prompt
Xwould look like:
X.sp
X.ti +2
XMsg 5 of 10:
X.sp
XThe string value that prompt is set to will be printed as your prompt.
XIf the string contains a `%', then that character is
Xignored, the next character is evaluated and an appropriate
Xvalue is printed in its place:
X.sp
X.nf
X.in +2
X.ta 0.5i
X%F full path name of the current folder
X%f name of the current folder (tail of %F)
X%m \*Qcurrent message\*U number
X%t total number of messages
X%n number of \*Qnew\*U messages
X%u number of unread messages
X%d number of deleted messages
X%T current time (hours and seconds)
X%N today's date (Number of the day in the month)
X%W weekday name (Sun, Mon, Tue, ...)
X%M current month
X%Y this year
X%y last two digits of %Y
X\\n a newline
X\\t a tab
X.fi
X.in -2
X.TP
X.B quiet
X(Boolean)
XIf set, the currently running version of
X.I Mush
Xis not printed on startup.
X.TP
X.B realname
X(String)
XSet to the name of the user. The name is initialized to the value of
Xthe environment variable
X.B NAME
Xupon invocation of the program.
XIf that isn't set, then the name is gotten from the password file if
Xavailable. If this variable wants to be reset or changed after the
Xprogram has started, the user should issue the command:
X.sp
X.ti +2
Xset realname = "Your name here"
X.TP
X.B record
X(String)
XSet to the name of a file to record all outgoing mail.
XThis should be a full pathname or the current directory is searched.
XThe pathname may begin with `+' (indicating the user's ~/Mail directory
Xor the value of the
X.B folder
Xvariable) or with a `~' (or \*Q~user\*U)
Xindicating the user's home directory.
X.TP
X.B reply_to_hdr
X(String)
XWhen replying to mail,
X.I Mush
Xsearches for return paths from the message by searching for
Xthe message headings \*QReply-to\*U, \*QReturn-path\*U, and \*QFrom:\*U,
Xin that order.
XIf none are found, then the first line of the
Xmessage created by the delivery system is parsed and the address
Xgiven there is used. This special message header is created by most
Xmail delivery programs, but not all of them (MMDF, for one). This line
Xis called the
X.B From_
Xheader because it is a colon-less header, but contains the return address
Xof the author of the message.
XIf the variable
X.B reply_to_hdr
Xis set to a list of headers (delimited by spaces or commas), then that list
Xis searched. If none of the headers listed in the variable exist
Xin the message, then a warning message is printed and the default
Xheaders are used. The special case From_ header can be specified
Xas one of the headers to search for.
X.sp
X.nf
X.ti +2
Xset reply_to_hdr = "sender reply-to return-path from_"
X.fi
X.sp
XThis example shows that mush will search for (in order), the
Xheaders listed in the reply_to_hdr variable. If one header isn't
Xfound, then mush looks for the next in the list. If none of the
Xheaders in the list are found, the default headers (mentioned
Xabove) are searched. The last header listed in the example is
Xthe special "From " header.
XAlso see the
X.B reply
Xcommand.
X.TP
X.B save_empty
X(Boolean)
XNormally, when all messages in a folder are deleted and the user updates
Xthe folder or changes to a new folder, the empty folder is deleted.
X.B save_empty
Xprevents the folder from being deleted and it is left zero length.
XNote: the main system mailbox is never deleted, even when empty.
X.TP
X.B screen
X(Numeric)
XMay be set to the number of message headers to display at a time in the
Xline and curses modes.
X.TP
X.B screen_win
X(Numeric)
XMay be set to the number of message headers to display in the tool mode.
XA subwindow is created for message headers, and its size is large
Xenough to hold $screen_win headers.
X.TP
X.B sendmail
X(String)
XIf set, the program and arguments described by this variable will
Xbe executed to actually deliver mail sent by
X.I Mush.
X.TP
X.B show_deleted
X(Boolean)
XIf true, deleted message headers are displayed along with
Xother messages (`*' indicates a deleted message) for the \fBheaders\fR
Xcommand. Also, deleted messages can be displayed using any command which
Xdisplays a message.
XIn curses mode, this variable is ignored and deleted messages are always
Xdisplayed with other messages to facilitate undeleting messages.
X.TP
X.B show_hdrs
X(String)
XSet to a list (space and/or comma separated) of headers that are to be the
Xonly headers displayed when viewing a message.
XThis variable disables the headers suppressed by the
X.B ignore
Xcommand.
XFor example,
X.sp
X.ti +2
Xset show_hdrs = \*Qfrom date subject to cc\*U
X.sp
Xwill only display the headers
X.B From: Date: Subject: To: Cc:
Xin their entirety.
X.TP
X.B sort
X(Boolean/string)
XThe value of this variable is the same as the arguments to the
X.B sort
Xcommand.
XThis variable is used for the initialization file to presort
Xmail in the system mailbox upon entering mush.
XSee the COMMANDS section for more information.
X.TP
X.B squeeze
X(Boolean)
XWhenever messages are read, piped, or saved, if this variable is set,
Xall consecutive blank lines are squeezed into one blank line.
X.TP
X.B tmpdir
X(String)
XThis variable describes the path to use as the directory
Xfor all tempfiles that
X.I Mush
Xuses. By default, the user's home directory is used. If that
Xcannot be accessed, a directory writable by all is used (typically, /tmp).
XIf \fBtmpdir\fR is set, then it is used first.
X.TP
X.B thisfolder
X(Read-only string)
XThe full path name of the current mailbox.
XThis variable cannot be modified or displayed by the
X.B set
Xcommand; its value changes whenever a new folder is entered with the
X.B folder
Xcommand.
XDuring sourcing of the initialization files,
X.B thisfolder
Xis not set, because the current folder has not yet been read.
XIf you refer to \*Q$thisfolder\*U in an initialization file
X.RI ( e.g. ,
X.IR .mushrc ),
Xbe sure to do so inside an \*Qif $?thisfolder\*U test.
X.TP
X.B toplines
X(Numeric)
XThe number of lines of a message to print when the
X.B top
Xcommand is issued. If unset, $crt lines are printed.
XNote that the message body only is printed when using the
X.B top
Xcommand; message headers are not counted as lines since they are not displayed.
X.TP
X.B unix
X(Boolean)
XIf set, commands that are not
X.I Mush
Xcommands are considered to be
X.IR UNIX (TM)
Xcommands.
XThis removes the inconvenience of requiring the user to do
Xshell escapes to do quick
X.I UNIX
Xcommands.
XFor systems that support job control, SIGTSTP will stop the entire shell as
Xwell as the process being executed.
XWhen SIGCONT is delivered, both will receive the
Xsignal and the shell will continue to wait for the job to finish.
X.sp
XDue to the lack of real job control, input/output redirection and UNIX command
Xpiping, this mode of the shell is not intended to be used as a login shell.
X.sp
XIf a
X.I Mush
Xcommand conflicts with a
X.I UNIX
Xcommand, use the command
X.B sh
Xto force execution as a shell command or use the full pathname of the command
X(e.g. starting with a '/').
X.sp
X.BR Warning :
X.I "Be aware that Mush pipes transmit message lists, NOT TEXT."
XYou cannot pipe the output of
X.I UNIX
Xcommands to or from
X.I Mush
Xcommands or other
X.I UNIX
Xcommands with the
X.I Mush
Xpipe mechanism. You can, however, pipe mush commands to a final UNIX
Xcommand (see the \fBpipe\fR command for more information).
XUNIX commands should be simple commands without pipes or metacharacters.
X.sp
XThis feature is not available for the graphics (tool-based) mode.
X.TP
X.B verbose
X(Boolean)
XPasses verbose flag to mail delivery systems when sending mail.
X.TP
X.B verify
X(Boolean)
XWhen through editing messages, just before sending,
X.B verify
Xwill ask you if you want to send, continue editing, or abort the
Xwhole message altogether.
X.TP
X.B visual
X(String)
XMay be set to the visual editor to use when ~v is specified.
XDefault is vi.
XThe visual editor is invoked by the \-e arguments to the
Xcommands,
X.B respond
Xand
X.BR mail .
X.TP
X.B warning
X(Boolean)
XIf set, warning messages are printed when:
X.in +4
X.ti -2
X\(bu a command line alias (\*Qcmd\*U) looks like a command.
X.br
XFor example,
X.ti +2
Xcmd mail 'set fortune; \\mail'
X.ti +2
Xcmd respond 'unset fortune; \\respond;'
X.ti -2
X\(bu a variable is set differently from its default value.
X.br
XFor example, if the escape character is set to something other
Xthat the tilde (~), then a warning message will be printed.
X.ti -2
X\(bu a date format from a message is unknown.
X.br
XThe date of a message is taken from the \fBDate:\f header.
XIf the date on that header is unknown, other headers are searched for a
Xvalid date format until a legal one is found.
XThis date may not be
Xcorrect in that it was the date the message was received, not sent.

X.TP
X.B wrap
X(Boolean)
XNormally, when the last message is deleted, the current message
Xpointer remains pointing to the last message and the user is done

Xof two less than that number of columns.
XLine wrapping can be disabled either by unsetting

Xor by setting it with the explicit value of 0 (zero).

XLine wrapping occurs only at whitespace (spaces or tabs).
XLines containing no whitespace to the left of the specified column
Xwill not be wrapped.

X.SH MACROS
XMacros are available in several different modes in
X.IR Mush .
X.I "Curses mode macros"
Xare created by using the
X.B bind
Xcommand with the special function
X.B macro
X(or by using
X.BR bind-macro ,
Xwhich is synonymous).
XThese macros are effective only when the curses interface is active.
X.I "Line mode macros"
Xare created with the
X.B map
Xcommand, and are effective only in the line-oriented command interface.
XFinally,
X.I "composition mode macros"
Xare created with the
X.B map!
Xcommand, and are effective only when composing mail messages.
XMacros are not available in the
X.I tool
Xmode; see, however, the
X.B fkey
Xcommand.
XLine and composition mode macros are also nonfunctional when mush is
Xstarted with the \-e (echo) option.
X.PP
XIn general, macros consist of two parts: a
X.I "key sequence"
Xand an
X.IR expansion .
XThe
X.B "key sequence"
Xis the character or string of characters which, when typed in the
Xappropriate mode, is recognized by
X.I Mush
Xas a reference to a macro.
XThe
X.B expansion
Xpart of a macro is the string that will actually be \*Qseen\*U by
X.I Mush
Xwhen the key sequence is recognized.
XMacros are like an interactive search-and-replace function;
Xif a key sequence appears in the input, the associated expansion is
Xsubstituted in its place.
XThus, if you create a macro whose key sequence is \*Q^X^W\*U (control-X
Xcontrol-W) and whose expansion is \*Qsave\*U, then when you hold down the
Xcontrol key and type the two characters `x' and `w', the effect will be
Xas if you had actually typed the four characters `s', `a', `v' and `e'.
XThis is called \*Qexpanding\*U the macro.
XMore detailed examples of macros will be presented in the subsections
Xfor each mode in which macros can be used.
X.PP
XKey sequences are usually made up of control characters or special
Xstrings of characters generated by \*Qfunction keys,\*U
Xbut may in fact be almost any string the user desires.
XKeys that generate a signal or an end-of-file from the keyboard
X(for example, on BSD systems, control-Z generates a TSTP signal and
Xcontrol-D generates an end-of-file) can never appear
Xin key sequences, and macros in line or composition modes cannot
X.I begin
Xwith a newline, control-D, or any of the editing keys
X(erase, word-erase, line-erase, etc.).
XOtherwise, there are no restrictions.
XIt should be kept in mind, however, that for the line and composition
Xmodes, key sequences should be unusual characters or combinations of
Xcharacters, not individual lower-case letters.
XIf common characters or strings are used for key sequences, much
Xconfusion can result when typing commands or messages.
XThis is not important in the curses mode.
X.PP
XIn the line and composition modes, a
X.I timeout
Xis used for key recognition; that is, once the first character of the
Xkey sequence has been typed, the succeeding characters must be typed
Xafter it relatively quickly, or
X.I Mush
Xwill fail to recognize them as a continuous sequence.
XIt is for this reason that key sequences are usually either very short,
Xor are strings that are automatically generated by pressing a special
Xkey on the terminal.
XOn the other hand, the timeout can be used intentionally to prevent a
Xmacro from being expanded; simply type the first character of the macro,
Xthen wait for it to echo before typing the next.
XThis does not work in curses mode, because curses macros
Xnever \*Qtime out.\*U
X.PP
XIn any mode, macros are
X.IR recursive ;
Xthat is, if the
X.I "key sequence"
Xof one macro appears in the
X.I expansion
Xof another macro (or even of the same macro), the second key sequence
Xwill be recognized when the first macro is expanded, and this new key
Xsequence will also be expanded.
XGreat care should be taken when creating macros to be certain that
Xrecursive expansions do not happen unintentionally.
XExpansion can be prevented in line or composition modes by using a
X.I literal-next
Xcharacter.
X.PP
XLiteral-next characters may be used from the keyboard or imbedded
Xin expansions.
XIn either case, they prevent the next character
Xfrom being interpreted as part of a key sequence.
X.I Mush
Xrecognizes the literal-next character from the tty settings of the
Xterminal, if the \*Qnew\*U BSD-style device driver is available;
Xotherwise, `^V' (control-V) is recognized as a literal-next.
XNote that, if you have a tty literal-next character,
Xthen when typing you will need to type
X.I two
Xof them in order to send one to mush; this is because the tty
Xdriver consumes the first one.
XIt is not necessary to use two literal-nexts in macro expansions
Xunless you wish to cause the second literal-next to be literal.
X.PP
XBackslash can be used as a literal-next when typing, and can
Xsometimes be used as a literal-next in expansions; but use it
Xwith caution, because it also introduces escape sequences
X(see \*QMacro syntax,\*U below).
XThere is no literal-next mechanism for curses mode.
X.PP
XA macro will always abort whenever
X.I any
Xcommand called by the macro returns an error.
XThis includes recursive expansions, so no matter how often a macro has
Xrecurred, it will be terminated completely.
XErrors in curses mode include illegal cursor movements, such as up from
Xthe top of the screen or down from the last message.
X.PP
X.BR "Macro syntax" .
X.PP
XA special sytax is provided for specifying control characters and other
Xnon-printing characters in macro key sequences and expansions.
XThis syntax is the same as that for bindings, discussed in the
XCURSES INTERFACE section; it can be summarized as:
X.ta 1.25i
X.in +2
X.nf
X\\CX control-X (where X is any capital letter)
X\\E the escape character
X\\n a newline (other C-style escapes also work)
X.fi
X.in -2
X.sp
XThus, to create a line mode macro for control-X control-W, as in the
Xexample above, the command would be
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xmap '\\CX\\CW' save
X.PP
XAlso provided is a syntax for executing functions from within macros.
XThere are two special functions that are effective in all modes;
Xthese are
X.I getstr
Xand
X.IR getline .
XBoth of these functions interrupt expansion of the current macro,
Xand wait for a newline-terminated string to be entered from the
Xstandard input.
XThis input string is inserted into the macro expansion.
XThe functions differ in that
X.B getline
Xretains the newline character (carriage-return) at the end of the
Xinput string, whereas
X.B getstr
Xstrips off the newline (one must still be typed to terminate input).
XThese functions can be executed by surrounding their name with
Xsquare brackets
X.RB ( [ ,
X.BR ] );
Xfor example,
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xmap '\\CX\\CW' save [getline]
X.sp
Xcreates a line mode macro, which is expanded when control-X control-W is
Xtyped, and which displays \*Qsave\*U followed by a space and then waits
Xfor the user to type a line of input; the input line will be used as the
Xarguments to the save command.
X.PP
XAddtional functions are currently available only in the curses mode.
XHowever, the syntax of enclosing the function name in square brackets
Xapplies to all functions, regardless of mode.
XNote that
X.I ONLY
Xthe function name can appear in the brackets; no whitespace is allowed.
X.PP
X.BR "Curses mode macros" .
X.PP
XMacros in curses mode are the most versatile, because they can access the
Xfull range of curses commands quickly and easily.
XEvery character that appears in the expansion part of a curses mode macro
Xcan reference a curses command or another macro.
XLike other curses functions, curses mode macros are created with the
X.B bind
Xcommand.
XFor example, to sort your messages by date and then send the most recent
Xone to the printer, you could use
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xbind @ macro 'od$|'
X.sp
XWhen the `@' key is typed, this macro first invokes sort
X(`o' from the default bindings) and instructs it to use date (d)
Xfor sorting; it then moves the current-message pointer to the last
Xmessage ($) and prints that message (|).
X.PP
XAdmittedly, the above macro is somewhat cryptic, and is dependent upon
Xthe bindings for sort, last-msg, and lpr being set to the defaults.
XIt would be better, and possibly more understandable, to refer to the
Xdesired curses functions without using their key bindings.
XTo allow this, the \*Q[function]\*U syntax described above may be used
Xin curses mode macros to reference curses functions.
XThe only function that is prohibited from appearing in the \*Q[\|]\*U
Xis the special
X.I macro
Xfunction, which cannot be called when it has no binding.
XThe example macro can therefore be rewritten as
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xbind @ macro [sort]d[last-msg][lpr]
X.sp
XSuch references to curses functions may be made only in curses mode
Xmacros, and are effective only when mush is actually in curses mode.
XThat may sound strange, but the most common use of curses macros is
Xto quickly perform functions that require an escape to the line mode.
XFor example, although there is a variation of the curses mode
X.I mail
Xfunction that will prompt for additional flags, there is no function
Xto prompt for flags to be passed to
X.IR reply .
XA macro can easily be created to provide this:
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xbind R macro '[line-mode]reply '
X.sp
XThis macro binds `R' to perform an escape to line mode and type
Xthe string \*Qreply\*U followed by a space.
XMacro expansion then ends, leaving it up to the user to supply
Xflags to the command or to backspace over it if a different command
X(or none) is desired.
XOf course, the macro could also have provided some default arguments:
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xbind R macro '[line-mode]reply \-ei '
X.PP
XNote that, if the
X.B getline
Xor
X.B getstr
Xfunction is used in a line-mode escape, it is not possible to
Xerase the text that is typed before the
X.IR get ;
Xthat is, if the macro had been
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xbind R macro '[line-mode]reply \-ei [getline]'
X.sp
Xthen the user would be forced to use the \-ei flags.
X.PP
X.BR "Line mode macros" .
X.PP
XLine mode macros combine some of the convenience of single-keystroke
Xcommands with the versatility of the line-oriented text interface.
XAs has been noted, the choice of characters for line mode key sequences
Xshould be made carefully, so as not to interfere with normal typing.
XLine mode macros are created with the
X.B map
Xcommand; for example, suppose you frequently forward messages to a
Xfriend named \*Qfred.\*U You could create a macro to do this:
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xmap '\\CF' 'mail \-f . fred\\n'
X.sp
XThis macro causes the single keystroke `^F' (control-F) to forward
Xthe current message to \*Qfred.\*U Note the newline
Xcharacter \*Q\\n\*U at the end of the expansion;
Xthis causes the command to be executed immediately,
Xwithout you having to type a carriage-return.
X.PP
XThe expansion part of a line mode macro will echo to the screen when
Xit is expanded, so you can see what the macro is doing.
XYou can therefore use parts of the expansion as a \*Qprompt.\*U In
Xthe above example, suppose you wished to enter a message list rather
Xthan always forwarding the current message.
XChange the macro to:
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xmap '\\CF' 'mail \-f [getstr] fred\\n'
X.sp
XThis version of the macro prints \*Qmail \-f\*U and a space, then waits
Xfor a newline-terminated string from the standard input.
XThe newline is stripped, and the string is used as the message list
Xpassed to the \*Qmail \-f\*U command.
XThe address \*Qfred\*U is also passed to
X.BR mail ,
Xso the messages in the list are forwarded to fred.
X.PP
XIf you want to be able to \*Qchange your mind\*U after starting a
Xline mode macro, you must leave the \*Q\\n\*U out of the expansion.
XWithout the newline, the macro will not be executed immediately, so
Xyou have a chance erase the line (or part of it) and type
Xsomething different.
XRemember that the
X.B getline
Xfunction keeps the newline in the string it gets, so if you don't
Xwant a newline to appear, you must use
X.BR getstr .
XWhen using the
X.I get
Xfunctions, you should also remember that you can
X.I never
Xbackspace past the \*Qbeginning\*U of a
X.BR getline ,
Xand you can backspace past the beginning of a
X.B getstr
Xonly after the get has been completed.
X.PP
XWhen the
X.B getstr
Xfunction is used in line mode macros,
X.I Mush
Xwill reprint the current input line so you can see what the whole
Xthing looks like, but will not redisplay the line mode prompt
X(see the entry for
X.B prompt
Xin the VARIABLES section for information on what the
Xprompt looks like).
XDon't let this worry you.
XThe input line is also reprinted when
X.B getline
Xis used, but the newline in the input string usually results in a
Xnew prompt being displayed.
X.PP
X.IR NOTE :
XLine mode macros are not available when using the line-mode escape
Xfunction in curses mode.
XIt is necessary to escape all the way to line mode (that is, leave
Xcurses mode by typing carriage-return at the `:' prompt) in order
Xto access line mode macros.
XThis is to prevent possible confusion when similar macros exist
Xin both line and curses modes.
X.PP
X.BR "Composition mode macros" .
X.PP
XComposition mode macros are very similar to line mode macros, and
Xprovide a \*Qpower typing\*U function when composing messages.
XFor example, you might want to have the word \*Qpercent\*U inserted
Xinto your message whenever you hit the `%' key:
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xmap! % percent
X.sp
XAnother use is to simulate the indentation features of editors.
XFor example, you might
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xmap! '\\CT' '\ \ \ \ '
X.sp
X(where the expansion is four spaces, enclosed in single quotes).
XThis macro causes four spaces to be inserted into the message whenever
Xcontrol-T is typed.
X.PP
XCompositon mode macros can also be used to execute
X.I tilde-escapes
X(see the GENERAL USAGE section for a list of these).
XFor example, you could create a macro to invoke the editor:
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xmap! '\\CE' '\\n~v\\n'
X.sp
XWhen control-E is typed, this macro prints a newline (to be sure that
Xthe tilde-escape is the first thing on a line), then types \*Q~v\*U
Xfollowed by another newline, to start the editor.
XSimilar macros can be created for other tilde-escapes.
X.PP
X.BR "Mixed mode macros" .
X.PP
XIt is not normally possible to mix macros among the different modes.
XHowever, once expansion has begun, it is interrupted only by an error
Xor by the appearance of one of the special
X.I get
Xfunctions.
XIt is therefore possible to have a macro expansion which causes
Xthe mode to change before the expansion has completed.
XIn this case, recursive expansions will apply to the new mode.
XSuppose we are using a variation of the editor-starting macro shown
Xabove for composition mode:
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xmap! '\\CE' '\\n~v emacs\\n'
X.sp
XThis macro causes the \*Qemacs\*U editor to be started when control-E
Xis typed in composition mode.
XWe can now create a line mode macro that makes use of this
Xcomposition mode macro:
X.sp
X.ti +4
Xmap '#' 'reply \-i [getline]~t[getline]\\CE'
X.sp
XWhen the `#' key is pressed in line mode, this macro will
Xprint \*Qreply \-i\*U and wait for a message list, then enter
Xcomposition mode (by executing the
X.B reply
Xcommand).
XIn composition mode, it will display the To: line
X(the \*Q~t\*U escape) and wait for other addresses to be added.
XFinally, it will recursively expand the control-E macro, to
Xstart editing the message with emacs.
X.PP
XAs can be seen from this example, the
X.I Mush
Xmacro facility is very powerful.
XBe very careful not to accidentally expand recursive macros,
Xespecially when using macros that change modes.
XWhen testing new macros, it is a good idea to start mush in
X.I read-only
Xmode (the \-r command line flag) to be sure that messages are
Xnot lost or altered.
X.PP
X.BR "Getting rid of macros" .
X.PP
XIt is not necessary to delete a macro in order to redefine it.
XNew expansions for existing key sequences will automatically replace
Xthe old expansions.
XIf it is necessary to remove a macro completely, the commands
X.BR unbind ,
X.B unmap
Xand
X.B unmap!
Xcan be used to remove curses mode, line mode, and composition mode
Xmacros, respectively.
XRemember to use a backslash or other literal-next character to prevent
Xthe expansion of line mode macros when using these commands, especially
X.BR unmap .
X.SH "MAIL ADDRESSES"
XWhenever a command that requires a user address or set of addresses
Xis specified
X.RB ( mail ,
X.BR reply ,
X.BR alias ,
X.BR etc )
Xthe addresses given must be separated by commas.
XMost casual users specify addresses that contain no comments or whitespace.
XThe simplest addresses are just the login names of the users you wish to send
Xyour message to:
X.sp
X.ti +2
X\fBmail\fR fred barney wilma betty
X.sp
XIn these cases,
X.I Mush
Xcan figure out that they are separate addresses and
Xinsert commas between addresses automatically.
X.sp
X.ti +2
XTo: fred, barney, wilma, betty
X.sp
XAddresses may also contain `!', `@' and `%' characters which are used
Xto separate hostnames and the final user name from each other.
XThis is primarily used to mail to users on other machines.
XUUCP addresses are specified as
X.sp
X.ti +2
Xhost1!host2!user
X.sp
Xwhere there may be as many hosts as necessary to route the message
Xto the recipient user.
XHere, the user's account is on \*Qhost2\*U

X.PP
X.I Mush

XComment fields do not affect the destination address of mail being sent.
XThese fields are purely for
Xhuman legibility and may be specified according to the following constraints:
X.sp
XAnything within angle brackets is an address; whatever is outside of the
Xaddress is considered a comment:
X.sp
X.ti +2
XDan Heller <sun!island!argv>
X.ti +2
XDan Heller <argv%island@sun.com>
X.sp
XAnything that has parentheses is a comment; whatever is outside of the
Xparentheses is considered the address:
X.sp
X.ti +2
Xsun!island!argv (Dan Heller)
X.ti +2
Xargv%island@sun.com (Dan Heller)
X.sp
XDouble quotes (") are treated just like parentheses:
X.sp
X.ti +2
X"Dan Heller" sun!island!argv
X.ti +2
X"Dan Heller" island!argv@sun.com
X.sp
XIf the comment is to contain a comma, the first case above may not be used;
Xyou must use either the parenthesis or double-quote cases.
X.sp
X.ti +2
Xfred@flintstone.bed.rock (Fred Flintstone, Cave Man)
X.sp
XIf the comment contains unbalanced quotes, unpredictable results may occur
X(Mush won't deliver the mail).
X.sp
XSince the angle brackets have the highest precedence, quotes or parentheses
Xmay be used in conjunction with one another.

X.sp
XBecause there is no indication of comments (parenthesis, angle bracket,
Xor quotes), it is assumed that these are separate addresses and mush will
Xinsert commas between these addresses accordingly.
XIt is for this reason that the user is encouraged to explicitly insert

Xinsertion to correctly separate addresses from one another.

X.SH BUGS
XThe curses interface uses the curses library.
XThe routines from the library that are used are the most basic and simple
Xso as to avoid possible bugginess that
Xdifferent versions of UNIX might have.
XHowever, one unavoidable problem is the reverse video mode.
XDepending on your terminal,
Xthe termcap entry for it, and the version of curses you are running,
Xthe reverse video may makes things worse than desired.
XIn such situations, the user should set the variable
X.B no_reverse
Xto not get reverse video.
X\&`^R' may still be entered at runtime in the curses
Xinterface to toggle reverse video.
X.PP
XIf the program is already running and the system [later] has to swap
Xand there is no swap space left, there may be problems.
XOne such problem is sending mail.
XIf this happens, then sending mail
Xwill fail and a segmentation fault from the spawned/forked child will occur
Xunless the -v flag was given to mail.
XThe unsent letter will not be removed from the editing file ($home/.edXXXXXX)
Xand may be recovered.
X.PP
XMany functions available to the line oriented mode (shell mode)
Xare not available to the tool mode.
XFor example,
X.B pick
Xmay not be directly accessed although experienced users may find that
Xtyping pick commands within single backquotes in the \*Qrange\*U panel item
Xin the header window will indeed pick messages.
XThis is mostly for selecting the \*Qdelete range\*U item
Xor the middle mouse button icon in the header panel.
X.PP
XShell escapes (of any kind) may not be called from
Xthe tool/graphics mode.
XThe reason for this is that there is no tty
X.I window
Xto run commands from.
XIt is impossible to determine whether or not the user wants to run an
Xinteractive program or not, so it is best to disallow its usage all together.

Xdoesn't, it seems to be related to other user or system definable
Xdot-files or whatever.
XI hardly use them, so I haven't had a chance
Xto really debug that part much.
XMy experiences have shown them to
Xwork in Sun versions 2.0, 2.2, and 3.3, but not any other version.

XWhen using
X.B vi
Xin the tool/graphics mode, periodically the window will be one
Xline \*Qshort.\*U
XThat is, scrolling will be off by one line and you may
Xhave to redraw the window (using \*Qz.\*U in vi) to get it in sync again.
XThis is a known problem with SunWindows, but Sun refuses to fix it
Xas SunWindows are \*Qobsolete.\*U
X.PP
XWhen running on full filesystems,
X.I Mush
Xmay complain or not even run since it needs temporary space with which
Xto work.
XInstead of finding new filesystems on its own,
X.I Mush
Xleaves this task up to the user.
XThe workaround is to set the variable
X.B tmpdir
Xin the initialization file to be a writable place in a filesystem that
Xhas enough disk space.
X.PP
XMost of the other known and documented bugs
Xare in the supplied README file accompanying the source.
XOf course, the source is an excellent place to look as most known bugs are
Xdocumented right in the source code.
XA good way to track suspicious bugs is to use the
X.B debug
Xcommand, but note that
Xthis command is very difficult to use in curses mode.
