   Subject:  xmh hackers out there?

   Hi Dwight.  I have been the person respponsible for X11 and mh installation on
   the net here at Clarkson...
     I was looking though some old mail and saw your post to xpert...

   Well, I can't help you... I can only verify your bugs... I get them too...

   Did you ever get the cursor in composition windows?  Also if you installed
   mh, do you have a PostScript version of all of the docs?  Our TeX is a
   little brain-dead.

   Thanks in advance,

Nope.  I've not managed to get the cursor to work, but otherwise Xmh
runs fairly well.  I'm replying to you with it now, in fact.

As for mh docs, we have what came with the 4.3BSD manual set.  I
suppose we could copy that and send it to you, but you might want to
check with Marian Hensler, our documentation person.  Her mail address
is marian@ef.ecn.purdue.edu, phone is (317) 494-4060.
