Well, one is probably using mail instead of something fancier because one only has one window. Many programs have --help and man pages and info, but still --help is useful without needing to check man pages. Anyway, often one is using mail on an ancient cu(1) modem line and might not even have job control... so say what those tidle escapes are on the same page. It won't cost you too many more bytes. _______________________________________________ Bug-mailutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-mailutils
