[comp.mail.mush] Strange missing error msg

lwv27@chemabs.UUCP (Larry W. Virden) (11/24/89)

Well, I had a weird one today.  I had tried a new version of arbitron in
the background.  It hung (dont know why) trying to send the report to
decwrl using mush.  Meanwhile, I was trying to do a:

mush user < file

I never got a msg indicating that mush was waiting for a lock file to clear
up.

Yet, when I did a:
mush user

and then a ~r to get the file, at the ^d I WAS told that it was waiting on
the lock.

it would be NICE if in the first case the user was told that the mush was
hung...
