- But why on earth using more or less in a pad! DM already has all the scroll
- keys and the cbreak mode in DM is really for someone who misses good old
- dumb ASCII terminals. Lets recite a hundred time: "a pad is not a terminal."
-
- I certainly welcome any better windowing environment come along to replace
- DM. Perhaps I will try to learn Emacs again for the fifth time in my life.
- However, I just can't help to jump out whenever someone complaining using
- more/less/vi is pain of butt under DM.

- P.S. For those of us who don't have csh source, how can we get tcsh
- compiled? Any pointer is highly appreciated.
