Hmm. Looks like it, but I had to make a small mod to get it to work:

AddToFunc MyGotoDesk
+ I All (mutt) MoveToDesk $*
+ I GotoDesk $*

Not much, but it appears MoveToDesk required at least one parameter,
and adding the '$*' always caused mutt to be moved to the 'next'
desktop - so it always went to the one I *wasn't* on. So it was like
trying to get 2 magnets to meet on their repellant sides. This way, it
seems to send mutt on ahead to the next desktop, and actually doesn't
appear to to too bad a job as far as timing, etc.

If I decide to add other desktops, and maybe use another hotkey to
scroll back the other way (-1 0 2) then it should be easy enough to
set up that binding with an analogous function.

Thanks!
Lou
