a few detailed mgr questions (bugs?)

(1)  I run ksh in emacs mode, and use ^U as kill, and ^C as intr.  Under
     mgr, under some circumstances, these don't work.  I appear to
     get echoed the mgr font character in '\003' (something like a
     backwards E) rather than an interrupt, for instance.  Has anyone
     else seen anything like this?

(2)  How can I get a new window made with the menu rather than alt-^N
     to be in my font rather than the too-big system font?

(3)  How can I get system menus in my font rather than the too-big
     system font?

(4)  Has anyone contemplated writing a 3b1 emulation library for things
     like the window operations, the bit-blts etc?  It would be nice
     to be able to take the source of 3b1 applications, like cheapdraw,
     and get them to wokr under mgr.

thanks,
-dB
