That's the wrong name for your e-mail file; it should be
/var/spool/mail/b/l/blight
You can tail that file to get your latest messages. For a longer term
solution, though, I'm not sure.

Re resp:83 - Your MAIL environment variable is supposed to be the full
path of your system mailbox, which in your case is
/var/spool/mail/b/l/blight, as Mark pointed out. I have a vague
recollection, which could be mistaken, that secure shell doesn't set
this variable properly. If that's the problem, then you can fix it by
adding this line to your .profile file:
MAIL=/var/spool/mail/b/l/blight; export MAIL

RE: resp:86 - Apparently the problem was the missing mail environment
variable. I added that line to my .profile file and everything seems to
be running fine now.

for the past two days, I haven't been able to get backtalk to respond. I can
bring up the' conference entrance' page, but I get no response from any
buttons. Has anyone else noticed this, or have I somehow buggered up my
netscape options? Funny, I can browse other sites successfully...

I've seen this happen recently. I created a WWW page on Geocities, but
whenever I access it, their pop-up banner comes up, and that disables
all ability for me to click on buttons on Grex. It also disables my
ability to click on other windows. Exiting Netscape doesn't fix the
problem; I have to reboot my machine to be able to use my mouse within
Netscape after this happens. I've been avoiding Geocities since I
discovered this problem, obviously.

Dialing in in -3000 and -5041 is a little challenging.
The modem answers then promptly dumps the call.
Hence, my appearance in Backtalk.

Re all the netscape problems: Re-booting your computer usually solves
that problem for me, I usually notice the problem after visiting a
geocities site, which makes me think that Geocities is using
(espicially) bad java. (any java is bad, but this is /exceptionally/
bad java)

No problems with Netscape in Backtalk here. But then, I never go
anywhere near Geocities.

i currently use netscrape with windoze 98, and i haven't had the
mouse problem at geocities. i simply minimize the ad banners as they
pop up, and when they're done loading i close them. that way i can
look at whatever i want to see at geocities with minimal bother from
pop-up ads.

I don't see ads on geocities with lynx, except for ads for geocities.

Yes, God bless lynx! Whenever ppl talk about ad filtering,
I pat myself on the back for using lynx when I'm simply
out for content. One nice trick I've found is that when I
first bring up Netscape in the morning, I also bring up a
blank window in the composer. While I go through the various
sites that I check for news and so on each morning, when
I see an article that I want to read, I just drag the
link into the composer window. When I'm done, I save that
to an html file, which I read via lynx at my leisure.

Midway through this session on Grex, picospan started showing me all the items
I'd forgotten - and also all retired items - as new and active. Right under
the item name, and the name and date of the person who entered it, it shows
a little sign saying "<retired item>" or "<forgotten item>".

After posting that item, I began to notice the problem on other sites as well.
Closing and re-starting Netscape seems to have cleared it up for now.

Re 101: Assuming you are using Picospan, it sounds like "set noforget"
somehow got set.
I've installed a few small Backtalk fixes - mostly response previewing
should work a little better, not trying to dispaly HTML versions in
conferences where HTML is turned off.

Re:#102: Netscape for Linux is up to 4.6 at last check, if the older
version is getting odd you can try updating.

From party user "br", I have a report that "talk" is broken.
I played a bit with it myself. If one does "talk grexuser,"
it seems to hang after the message "checking for invitation on machine"
or something like that.
