What were you trying to do?
Read changed meetings with the 'rn' command in discuss 1.6.
What's wrong:
I was over quota. The 'rn' command displayed the changed meetings,
but then silently failed and returned to the "discuss:" prompt. I
never figured out why it had failed until running trn, which does give
a useful error message.
What should have happened:
Discuss should have displayed an appropriate error message ("could not
write to .meetings file" or something like that).
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
