- MUI 3.x handles defining screens differently. Probably you will have
- to go into the MUI directory, and start PSI - the Public Screen
- Inspector. It should have a list of your MUI Screens. If it does not,
- then define a "New" screen, named AmigaMosaic (at least that is the
- name on mine.) That should get you the ability to have A_Mosaic open
- on it's own screen again. Make sure you SAVE results, not just USE.

- Hopefully when A_Mosaic starts up after defining the screen in PSI,
- then you'll have the little upside-down U-thingy in the upper-right
- corner that you can click on the bring up the MUI preferences. Any
- changes you make from here will be saved just for Mosaic, except I

- Try MuiFTP. It's a way cool easy-to-use FTP client that you can use to
- get or put files somewjere without having to tie up your Mosaic session!
-
- Another keen MUI program that I use is Misc. It is a workbench (or any
- other public screen) notes program, that is invaluable for cut-and
- pasting little notes from stuff you are looking at, and then alter to
- something else. It also has a built in log/diary you can use too.
- For example, I just pasted your web address to check out later.
- Hope this all helps. Using the NewEdit utility from Aminet allows you to
- paste text into MUI requesters.
