Since we just received our Next at work last Friday afternoon, I have a few
elementary questions.  Please reply via email as I'm sure most of this
newsgroup has no interest in the answers....

1) In /usr/adm/messages, I see a lot of unable to open /dev/tty messages.
What's causing this, and what can I do about it ?

2) Can someone point me to a port of Kermit, as I have the file-transfer
bootstraping problem -- the machine is not networked, so it looks like
I'm going to have to bring in uuencoded stuff with tip...which doesn't
seem quite able to keep up with 2400 baud in a Terminal window....

3) Will there be a combined Terminal/Shell, ala xterm sometime ?  I note
that Apollo also got this wrong...

4) I'm trying to display some scrolling text in a panel.  The obvious (to me)
approach didn't quite work.  I got the text up, but no scrollbar.  I'm trying
to put a Text-class object into a ScrollView, and make that the ContentView
of the panel.  Can someone provide some hints ?

5) This is really silly, but:  I can't get the workspace manager's
autolaunch on login feature working on my account, it works fine on the
me account Next provides...I haven't checked whether or not it will work
for root.  What, if anything, do I need to do to get this working ?

6)  Is there a Mach book around the level of _The Design and Implementation
of 4.3 BSD Unix_, (Karels, McKusick, et al.)  Or even, where can I order
mach manuals from ?

7) Why did lint go away ?

Well, I'm posting from home, and that's all I can remember.  Please don't
waste net.bandwidth on these....

Thanks,
Drew Dean
