I know this has been asked recently, but I haven't noticed any replies. Is there a way to resize the windows on the NeXT? Also, I had a chance to use a NeXT with 0.9 recently. It froze up twice. Has this been a problem with 0.9, or is it me (I was just playing around, without the help of any documentation, so I may have been doing *forbidden* things, although this would have been unintentional). -- =============================================================== dcarpent@sjuvax.UUCP David Carpenter dcarpent%sjuvax.sju.edu@relay.cs.net St. Joseph's University ST_JOSEPH@HVRFORD.BITNET Philadelphia, PA 19131

Yeah, how 'bout it all you NeXTophiles? I asked about a week ago and received nary a response. Have some pity on us less fortunate humans.

Sorry, but my mailer couldn't reach you... In article <2143@sjuvax.UUCP> you write: >I know this has been asked recently, but I haven't >noticed any replies. Is there a way to resize the windows >on the NeXT? Well, you wouldn't have seen my response, as I mailed it... Yes, there is a way to resize windows. In one of the corners of the title bar, there usually is a two-tone square box. Click on it, and you can grab an edge (there may be a limitation on which edge--I don't remember exactly) and move it or a corner, around. >Also, I had a chance to use a NeXT with 0.9 recently.

Well, I haven't used 0.9 much, but I don't remember 0.8 being that unstable. In 0.8, there were some things you shouldn't do. The plain UNIX stuff is pretty stable though. >=============================================================== >dcarpent@sjuvax.UUCP David Carpenter >dcarpent%sjuvax.sju.edu@relay.cs.net St. Joseph's University >ST_JOSEPH@HVRFORD.BITNET Philadelphia, PA 19131 Sam Paik d65y@vax5.cit.cornell.edu

> is there any way to resize a window on the NeXT. > and other questions by those that have not used a NeXT. First, yes you can resize a window. It is the little gray bar on the bottom of each window. Second, I'm sure a campus rep would be a better place to look for this type of information. After all, NeXT has invested quite a bit of money into getting knowledgable people on campuses all across the country. Mike Rutman Softmed

This may well have been an elementary question (I admit it, and apologize for it); nevertheless, it is amazing how many DIFFERENT answers I have received to it! > >Second, I'm sure a campus rep would be a better place to look for this type >of information.

Think again. There's no one of that description at my university, and I suspect MANY people who are genuinely interested in this machine are in the same position. I'm interested in BUYING one, and I can't find anyone to sell me one (and I "qualify"; I'm on the faculty here). -- =============================================================== David Carpenter dcarpent@sjuvax.UUCP St. Joseph's University dcarpent%sjuvax.sju.edu@relay.cs.net Philadelphia, PA 19131 ST_JOSEPH@HVRFORD.BITNET

First off, I'd like to thank those of you who responded to
my question. I would really have liked to check it out first hand
but last I heard, our local NeXT University had their CuBE locked
away in a room where no one could get at it.
Sorry if some of you thought this too trivial to discuss.
