-------
System name:		prometheus
Type and version:	rt 6.3B (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		apa16
What's wrong:
	We need a new bug-report template / bug-reporting program.

What should have happened:
	I should have written and presented ~raeburn/sendbug.sh for
review earlier.

Henry, Robin:  What information do you want to see in the report
header?  Any other sections you want added (e.g., "fix, if you know
what it is")?  I just guessed...

Consultants: Please have a look at this as well.

Some of the messages will probably need rewriting.  This script does
try to check whether you use MH (and pick an editor/mailer combination
based on that), though it doesn't check very hard.  It also prompts
for the subject, so perhaps we can eliminate the reports with subjects
saying only "[<-- put the name of the program here]".

Let me know what you think....
