[comp.mail.mush] Problem with `q` command?

ste@cbnewsm.ATT.COM (Shaun T. Erickson) (05/21/89)

I am running Mush 6.5 PL3 on a Sun 3/60 running SunOS 4.0.1.

After installing patch #3, I find that when trying to quit out
of curses mode, the `q` command doesn't work anymore *if* there
is no need to update my main folder.

Has anyone else experienced this, or am I mixed up somehow?

(Quite possible! :-)

Sigh.  Yes, this is a bug, introduced when another one was squashed.  At
patch level 2, mush would quit even after asking you if you wanted not
to; now it handles that correctly but doesn't quit unless there is
something to update.

The fix is very easy and will appear in patch #4.  

In the meantime, if you don't mind not being asked about updating the
folder, use

	bind-macro q [line-mode]quit\n[no-op]

No, *I'm* mixed up somehow. :-(
