The following has to be asked: Considering the fact that Unix has high-quality software for its text-mode console (and terminals in general), and many programs are actually tty-oriented (or can easily behave so), what is currently missing for you in text-mode? For instance: I would check 'nmh' or even 'mail' for mailing, as it is more tty-oriented. Same goes for (that's right) ex, after proper training. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
