Oh, just for discussion, here's another change that I'd like to make. I need
to make some changes in the way the context/profile stuff is handled.
Without
going into a lot of detail here, I'm adding a -nochangecontext option to many
of the programs so that you can, for example, show +newfolder without
changing
the current folder.
I accomplish a similar functionality with an sh function for use in scripts:
newmh ()
{
local oldContext="${MHCONTEXT-context}";
local path=`mhpath +`;
export MHCONTEXT=,"$oldContext.$$";
cp "$path/$oldContext" "$path/$MHCONTEXT"
}
Even easier is:
export MH_CONTEXT=/dev/null
This will not work with the default dot-locking authentication because
of a bug (it tries to create /dev/null.lck or something like that), but
if you turn on real locking it works fine.
Thanks.
Jeff
