In NeWS on a Sun color 3/60, if you forget to open up a console window
and you write something to the console, the black and white console
message scribbles over the NeWS screen. Repair doesn't clear it.

psh
PaintRoot
^D

 doesn't clear it. The only resort I know is to restart the news_server.

I notice repair works in this case on the black and white 3/50.

Does anybody out there know how to beat this one?

...
You know that mail notifier thats been floating around?
Is there any reason for it to use 'c' at all? 
Here is the crucial procedure:

/anymail  {  - => literal
  (/usr/spool/mail/) (USER) getenv
  { append (r) file } stopped { pop pop /nomail } { closefile /mail } ifelse
} def
