It depends on how the scripts are invoked. If they're invoked from
macros, their stdin and stdout should already be connected to the tty,
so you don't need to do anything special. If the scripts are invoked as
part of a filter, you can probably use /dev/tty for input and output,
e.g.,
echo "Enter file name:" > /dev/tty
read file_name < /dev/tty
As I recall, this doesn't work for scripts referred to in the "sendmail"
variable.
Is that what you meant?
