The following question may be a fundamental one that many people have asked before, but please bear with me because I just started to use emacs In gnuemacs, I have the problem when I type ^s , emacs will treat it as stop displaying the screen, instead of interpreting it as part of the key seqence (eg ^x^s to save the the current file.) Am I doing something wrong here? I think the version I am using is a pretty recent one. I would appreciate if you can postnews here in this group. Thanks ... -Darwin Ling

In the standard GNU Emacs distribution, there is a file in the top level directory called PROBLEMS. It contains a lengthy description of flow control problems when using GNU Emacs. One of the proposed solutions may be right for you. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Gallagher kgallagh@digi.lonestar.org OR ...!uunet!digi!kgallagh DSC Communications Corporation Addr: MS 152, 1000 Coit Rd, Plano, TX 75075 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
