[9fans] sliderules, ned and other obsolescent programs

[erik quanstrom]

i don't know if anybody still uses ned, especially with nupas,
but i added a few little wrinkles to ned that folks seem to
be asking about.  they're not in the man page yet since i'm
not sure if they're just horrible, but here are a few

0.  p upasmessagefile.  any message file can be printed.

1.  p magic.  if magic is "id", then upas' message id is
printed; "fpath" prints the path to the upas/fs message,
and anything unrecognized is just printed.  so. putting
these together you can do something like this

: 1,10 p id '	' fpath '	' ffrom

and now for the sleeze:

2. marked and unseen messages are marked with ' and
* respectively.  thus g/\*/h will usually print out just
new messages.
