I've got mush 6.5 up on my sun 3/60 (running unix 3.5)... Question: Does mush support "stuff"-like functionality in tool mode? In other words, can I mouse on some stuff in one (sun) window and then "stuff" (i.e., right mouse, then select "stuff" option) it into mush's main window whilst editing a message (or something)? To answer my own question, I can't! Is this functionality not supported? Supported but perhaps I've got mush configured wrong? Or soon to be supported? Thanks, --Dave

No. Unfortunately, mushtool was written back before sunview in the days when sun 2.0 was just surfacing and NFS was just about in BETA tests at SRI :-) the suntools mode has changed very little since then, but bugs have attempted to be fixed and enhancements have been kept to a minimum. Now that I'm -reasonably- sure that no one is running 2.0 anymore, porting it to sunview would be a good thing. this would, of course, mean that "scrollbars" would be used in all the windows! At any rate, this is not going to happen real soon now because of other time-restraining committments. Dan Heller <island!argv@sun.com>
