[comp.mail.mush] 'await' command in patch #2

cjosta@tasu77.UUCP (Jonathan Sweedler) (05/14/89)

Wow.  Talk about quick service.  Thanks for adding the new 'await' command
to mush, Bart.  But... (there's just no pleasing some people :-).  It would
be REALLY nice if I could specify strings to be printed out when the 
await command is invoked and also when it returns.  This way, I could 
type 'await', my window would close, and then when new mail arrived, I
could have the window open, or just change icons (put the flag up).  

Once again, thanks for the quick response.

    cmd await 'echo $close_to_icon; \await; echo $put_flag_up'
