Article-I.D.: rlgvax.1108 Posted: Fri Feb 25 14:54:23 1983 Received: Sat Feb 26 03:53:11 1983 Out of curiosity, has anyone made a version of the shell which performs a "mesg n" when it waits for a command to complete and a "mesg y" when it prints its prompt, so that your train of thought is not interrupted by a "write" when you are working on something?
