I'm still getting the got error, but it occurs immediately upon attempting
to paste-and-clip a block of text (code, actually) while trying to enter an
item.

I had to log out and in to get here. WHile writing a response (in DIY, I
think it was while wrapping to the second line) I got:
/a: write failed, file system is full
I think I next type q (not sure) and got
Got error 28 (No space left on device) in writing participation file.
Leave called twice -- try LEAVE cmd
I tried to join agora, to the error 28 and LEAVE messages again.
Finally logged out, seems to be okay now.

When I logged in again: Bad participation file. Now all conferences
and all responses are new. I hope this is not a serious problem.

I tried a few other conferences. DIY nothing new. Kitchen 154 new.
Cars and consumers 1 new each (these are possibly correct, Kitchen
is not). Joined agora three times - 50 new, 17 new, 50 new. (Was 51
new before entering #121 here).
I will let you know of any other surprises. Let's hope the only
messup is my very own participation file, which I can live with.

This isn't really a problem, but with Grex's speed increase, the motd flies
by too fast to read all of it. Perhaps a "press a key" option can be added
to the motd somehow?

I use page up or down to see the motd.

If I do PgUp or PgDn, it is a Procomm command to send or receive files.

Alt-F6 redisplays lines that have scrolled off the screen. PgUp and PgDwn
work in this mode. Home and End also work. There is a find function.
However you cannot enter new text in this mode, and have to Esc back to
do so.

I have finally gotten Zmodem working with Procomm Plus, so will say no thanks
on MS-Kermit. Jim can figure out how to scroll for me some day, in the
meantime we are making people grex e-mail computers. (His sister will try
hers out for a while before joining.)

If I recall, the scrollback buffer in DOS Procomm is invoked by alt-F6. I
might be wrong. I think alt-Z may bring up a menu (actually just a help
screen).

In my old version Procomm (2.4.2?) Alt-F6 advances the screen one line, and
you have to hit esc to go back to something usable. Alt-F4 puts you back into
DOS, and Alt-F4 from DOS puts you back to Procomm. I am about to switch to
a 'new' computer and will wait to switch to Procomm Plus at the same time,
as it is in an inconvenient directory on this computer. I don't need to
scroll back, there are ways to get around it with several steps, but thanks.

All the versions of Procomm I've used had Alt-F6 put the screen into
scrollback mode, where the page and arrow keys were used to scroll the entire
(pitifully small) scrollback buffer.

/a is very close (13K) to being full again...

re 133: Right, hit alt-f6 and the image on the screen moves up one line as
it goes into scroll back mode. Then you can use the arrow keys or page up
and page down keys to move around.

The scrollback buffer in the DOS versions is however pretty primitive - if
you correct a typo, or if you use something that repaints portions of the
screen, you get it all there in the order in which it originally appeared,
when you scroll back.

Scrollback does work fine with the up and down arrows, thanks. (I will go
clean out a lot of dowsing related stuff from my home directory now.)

Running out of disk space like that is a sign that maybe we should have
pointed nwewuser at the new /c partition sooner. Not that any of that
would help if people are going to pig out on disk space.

Could a disk space limit be implemented automatically? I gather the policy
(?) is pretty liberal, so temporary overruns could be allowed, etc. I
have gotten personal requests to clean out my directory, but doing that
requires more staff time - and is it effective?

There is software that would impose limits on how much people could have in
their directories. The problem is that quota software is pretty resource
intensive in terms of CPU, and the excess CPU power to handle it would cost
more than the disk space it would save us.

I was thinking more in terms of automatic notification - something that
runs in .login, which checks du (or whatever) and sends a note if over
the quota (and perhaps appends something to a file for staff to watch).
Would this be resource intensive?

Well, we do get quite a few logins every day.
