I have finnaly gotten around to getting MGR up and running, and I must
say I'm impressed. There are only a few things I would like to
nit-pick on.
I can't find any way of iconifying a standard window. It would be
really nice if I could have large windows when I want to play and
little icons when I want them out of my way. I know I can resize them
into another location, but I'm looking for an easier method. (Yep,
cheep and lazy, that's me).
The termcap entry that is in the misc directory works quite well,
except with less (which is more). This is very frustrating. Has anyone
tweeked it to work right? Is there something so fundamentally simple
that I'm just not seeing it?
Lastly, is there a MGR mailing list? I don't remember seeing any
references to one, but...
Any way, I like mgr and look forward to all the ports to HP-UX, AIX,
MS-DOS... :-) It is so nice and small!

I, too just got it up an running on our Sun 3's under SunOS 4.0 an I like it a lot. my major complaint is that window resizes don't generate notifications to the program running in it. basically, resizing a window and then running emacs screws things up royally. it goes exclusively by the termcap entry, and can't figure out where to place the characters. under suntools, everything worked normally. >I can't find any way of iconifying a standard window.

I too, would like some way of easily closing a window that is used as an rlogin to another machine. the ``close'' command works fine for local windows. >The termcap entry that is in the misc directory works quite well, >except with less (which is more).

I use the termcap entry generated by ``set_emacs'' and it works fine. >Lastly, is there a MGR mailing list?
