Thus I think the boring discussion of interlocking files is more important than the interesting discussion of hooking mice to terminals. Indeed, I edited a file tonight and found it had been modified while I was editing. Fortunately our system detects when this happens, and lets you first merge your changes with the other changes. This is very easy to do. It just shows you the text, with each alternative presented, and lets you choose either, or both, or invoking the editor recursively. In many ways this is preferable to making one person wait.
