Andrew version 3 looks pretty good so far. I think I've got everything working now except I can't get messages to look at /usr/spool/mail/grogers it wants to look at ~grogers/Mailbox. The bush program is pretty nice. However I can't figure out if there is some way to get a shell for the current directory being displayed. I think I can use bush for traversing and looking at files, but how do I execute a program that uses those files? 'Make' for example. If I have to manually follow the bush window with my own shell window I probably won't use bush (but I want to).

I believe this can be handled via the AndrewSetup file which should be documented in $(DESTDIR)/help/setup.help (accessible via 'help andrewsetup' or 'help andrew.setup') --fish

To execute a file, select that file in the listings and click on the 'Exec' control-button. By default, the current-working-directory is the root of visible directory tree. To set the current-working-directory, click in the control-title that contains the pathname of the current-directory being visited (at the top of the screen). Gary Keim

Maybe what we need is another button similar to the "edit" button that prompts for a command to execute on the files. There should also be a "prompt-for-editor" button in the choice-box of editors put up by the "Editor" top-level bush button. Bill
