Hi,
the normal 3-line error printout is documented by IBM and shall remain
as is for compatibility.
I will, however, put more information about errors in )MORE such as file
names, strerror() stings and the like.
Pleas feel free to indicate where the information related to errors is
not sufficient.

Hmm, this makes me think about a new feature for the Emacs mode: some
kind of warning in the modeline when there is an unread )MORE message.
Would this be useful? Do you get these kinds of messages often? I
rarely look for it.

I suppose some proper authentication and authorisation mechanism is
needed too. Then comes the question of encryption. Things like
Kerberos is easy to add and is powerful. However, it does require
infrastructure a lot of people don't have.
