[net.emacs] Problem with UniPress Emacs

irmler@trwrba.UUCP (Gerald W. Irmler) (07/12/84)

We are running UniPress version #264 Emacs on 4.1bsd.  We have a
problem that messages displayed with "message" disappear after a
few seconds.  Has anyone else had this problem?

Spencer Thomas fixed that one a while ago.  Here's the fix: in
window.c, right after the line that says AllUpdates++, add the
following lines:

    /* If the minibuffer got wiped, but should be re-displayed, restore it */
    if (MiniBuf && !GSaveMiniBuf && !*MiniBuf && ResetMiniBuf) {
	MiniBuf = ResetMiniBuf;
	if (*ResetMiniBuf == 0)
	    ResetMiniBuf = 0;
    }

If you are running the "time" daemon, this is the cause.  I have fixed
the input routine so it only wipes out the minibuffer display on keyboard
input.  Requires changes to a couple of places (minibuf.c and mchan.c?).

Jerry,

This sounds like either your VT100 (C. Itoh) terminal or your
Sytek network is sending a CTRL-Q.  If this is bound to (novalue)
then nothing will happen except that the message will disappear.
