I was dismayed to find that when you use the ~h excape to modify the header fields, the previous contents of the fields are discarded. This bug has been on the known bug list at Apollo for years! I can't believe that after all the changes to make SR10 "real UNIX", including rewriting the input streams to provide "real ttys", that this hasn't been fixed. I dunno, I guess I just naively expected that in return for all the hassle we users were going to have to go through in converting to the new OS, Apollo would provide improvements and repairs for all the little outstanding glitches that were there because they didn't have a real UNIX capability.
