Yeah, and with your Uemacs programming knowledge, it would do a HELL of a lot
more! ;)

Actually, the editor that TC's been discussing should be a pretty decent
supplement. If there is one thing that he likes to see it is a decent editor.
He recently added Blocking commands to the new editors in METAL 1.09 as well
as full PTSE expansion for repeat commands etc. I'm waiting to get the final
release of it so that I can check it out.

By the way, remind me to send you the ROUTE script that we prepeared for the
Internet mail gateway. It might actually be 100% compatible with Outgoing Mugs
mail. I was thinking of the when I began writing it. It will use Sendmail or
Smail (Both are the same thing anyways) and is pretty cool really. 

Of course, it's not as functional as 'collect' because it, for now, expects
Y-Modem G or 1K Batch protocls. (No Z-modem support! :)
