I set up an "emacstool" in suntools by making a setup line that executes csh -c emacs-disable-suspend-emacs and having a line in .cshrc alias emacs-disable-suspend-emacs 'emacs -f disable-suspend-emacs' and having a function in .emacs (defun disable-suspend-emacs () (disable-command 'suspend-emacs)) The setup line makes a window that pops up and automatically runs a shell which runs emacs. All the rest of the stuff is to automatically disable the suspend-emacs (C-z) command, since suspending emacs leaves nobody listening to input from that window. (The csh is waiting for emacs to finish.) Typing C-x C-c causes emacs to exit, causing csh to exit, causing suntools to destroy the window.

The emacstool from 18.38 gives you this, and I find it a plus. > Dale Worley Cullinet Software -- # Scott Schwartz # UUCP: ...{{seismo,ihnp4}!bpa, cbmvax!vu-vlsi, sun!liberty}!swatsun!schwartz # AT&T: (215)-328-8610 /* lab phone */

I find that Emacs-es with mouse support, so far, don't support the mouse the same way, or as well as, the native mouse support for terminal emulator windows. E.g. I can't select some text with the mouse and stuff it into another window because the mouse clicks that would have done that get stuffed into the Emacs input buffer, invoking Bog knows what lisp functions, but never doing the same thing that any other window would do with 'em. So I just learned to not click the mouse in the Emacs window. (I'm running a Unipress Emacs with window support hacked in while I was at Sun, and no source. Happily, my binary was compiled for a Sun-2 monochrome display, and now that I run it on a color display it falls back to using the terminal emulator, giving me real mouse support finally!) -- Copyright 1987 John Gilmore; you may redistribute only if your recipients may.
