Energy;¬Increasing the Energy

Quite frankly, if you think the energy scale doesn't go far enough, you should probably cut down on the caffeine.  However,
if you must, use the dwrite:

	dwrite MailWatch Energy <newvalue>

NameList;¬Adding arbitrary strings to the NameList

You can access the a NameList via the command line:

	dwrite MailWatch NameList "list of spaced names"

Don't forget the double-quotes.  I use this trick to add a couple
of  * asterisks * on my screen.  These lightweight characters can be quite amusing.  Note that if you want to change the color, etc. you can get your sysadmin to create the file (of appropriate size):
/usr/spool/mail/name

Monitor;¬Monitoring something other than mail

Occasionally, I run a numerical simulation which runs for several days and produces some output every couple of hours.  By pointing the Mail Spool Dir;Settings.rtf;spooldir;¬ to the output directory of this program and setting the NameList;Tricks.rtf;NameList;¬ appropriately, I can monitor the progress of the simulation and know when to go check out the latest output.
