I e-mailed the following suggestions to Mr. Heller, and apparently they did not get to him. I use mush, which makes my e-mail life very easy. Thanks a lot! The following happened to me several times: I had a long Mush session, in which I applied many changes to some folder. Than I wanted to quit. Mush asked: update folder? [y] By mistake I typed some character other than 'y' (or SPACE), and mush said folder unchanged And I lost all my changes. I suggest that any answer to 'update folder? [y]' other than 'y' or 'n', will cause mush to assume typing error, and ask again. -- Ran

Anything other than y or whitespace assumes no (newline is whitespace) is how is currently works. This was a hot topic a long time ago and mush-users decided that the current way it works is the most widely desired. Dan Heller <island!argv@sun.com>
