[comp.sys.next] Does anyone know ...

Three more questions about Release 2.0 for the net:

1.  Is there any way to keep the default volume setting in preferences
from changing when the volume is changed from the keyboard?

2.  Is there anyway to disable the volume, power and/or brightness keys
on the keyboard (e.g., make them work only when the alt or ctrl key is
also held down), so that I don't have to keep suffering the consequences
of hitting them accidently.

3.  Is there any way to control the volume of an individual sound file?
(Ideally, sndplay should have a volume option, but I would be satisfied
with a filter that converts file.snd to newfile.snd, where newfile.snd
is a louder or softer version of file.snd.

4.  When I rlogin to another next from a terminal, after being asked for 
the terminal type the prompt jumps to the top of the screen, and the session
overwrites what was already on the screen. From there on, the session scrolls 
fine, but the initial screen's worth of jumbled letters is annoying. I suspect
it is something I need to fix in my .cshrc. Any suggestions?

5.  I remember hearing that emacs had been adapted to work with the mouse
on the NeXT. What's the story. Is that the Emacs that does not work with
2.0?
