   My wife and I installed FreeBSD (Walnut Creek cdrom Dec 93) on our 486/33
   pc a few months ago.  Overall its great and we would like to thank the
   authors. 

   BRAVO. Please take a bow.

Gee, thanks.  Umm..  My, that release is _really old_ - it's almost
embarassing taking kudos for it! :-)

   Nonetheless, in X Windows, we have found what appears to be a conflict
   between "cmdtool" and "more."  Whenever we use the more command inside
   cmdtool, more doesn't work.  That is, more does not display the file. 
   When we exit more, the cmdtool window shuts down.

Hmmm.  I can't say that I've ever seen this, but running 1.0.2 makes
it almost impossible to diagnose the problem! :-( I literally haven't
even seen a 1.0 system for at least a year, and would have no way to
easily reproduce one.

Are you sure you might not consider upgrading to 1.1.5.1, available on
the net?  It would at least enable us to speak a common language in
fixing bugs.  Of course, if you don't hurry then everyone will be
running 2.0 and you'll get left behind *again*, but that's life in the
computer industry, eh? :-)
