(1) I run ksh in emacs mode, and use ^U as kill, and ^C as intr. Under
mgr, under some circumstances, these don't work. I appear to
get echoed the mgr font character in '\003' (something like a
backwards E) rather than an interrupt, for instance. Has anyone
else seen anything like this?
(2) How can I get a new window made with the menu rather than alt-^N
to be in my font rather than the too-big system font?
(3) How can I get system menus in my font rather than the too-big
system font?
(4) Has anyone contemplated writing a 3b1 emulation library for things
like the window operations, the bit-blts etc? It would be nice
to be able to take the source of 3b1 applications, like cheapdraw,
and get them to wokr under mgr.
thanks,

If there were an emulation library, I wonder if a new shared library could be constructed with replacements for wrastop(), et al, to do the right MGR things? In that case, you wouldn't even need sources to run TAM-ish applications under MGR. -- Bill Carpenter att!hos1cad!wjc or attmail!bill
