What were you trying to do?
Get a list of all public mailing lists. The hard way. :-)
What's wrong:
I chose:
"1. Show all public mailing lists."
then got:
"This function may take a while... proceed? [y] "
I hit <return>, which was treated as a "no".
I had to type "y" to get it to do the query.
What should have happened:
It should have registered that I hit return. It's not
obvious to me from the code in moiradev why this didn't work.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
In /mit/moiradev/clients/mailmaint/mailmaint.c:
472:show_all()
473:{
474: char c;
476: show_text(DISPROW, STARTCOL, "This function may take a \
477:while... proceed? [y] ");
478: c = getchar() & 0x7f;
479: if (c == 'y' || c == 'Y' || c == '\n') {
480: move(DISPROW + 1, STARTCOL);
481: addstr("Processing query...please hold");
482: refresh();
483: (void) list_all_groups();
484: }
485: else
486: erase_line(DISPROW, STARTCOL);
487: return;
489:}
What's wrong with this picture? The code looks OK to me...
