It is already in the 21st century, although a little buggy in spots.Oh, I agree ... but I don't think NEW features that don't remove or diminishthe command-line tools functions are necessarily bad.I don't have any problem with that.
I certainly wasn't proposing that the existing command line functions go away by any means, but as an exmh developer, I think we could do a lot for exmh performance by more tightly integrating mh and tcl. I had although thought issues like running a tcl script instead of replcomps like Ken mentioned although I didn't mention it in my original message. I say this as someone who doesn't actually like tcl much as a language, but since it's what exmh uses and is also intended for this kind of purpose, I thought it was an interesting idea. Of course, I also know where I sit on the Venn diagram of "people with cool ideas" and "people with ability/time", so I'm just trying to stir a few creative juices.
