I am running GNU Emacs 18.55.0 of Wed May 9 1990 on tempest (Domain/OS) on DOMAIN/IX BSD4.2 (SR9.7) on an Apollo 3500. When I do M-x shell or run a CMU shell, the csh (my default shell) comes up with the following: Warning: no access to tty; thus no job control in this shell... If I try to query the tty, I get: javelin:~/ % tty not a tty If I try C-c C-c (interrupt-shell-subjob) or C-c C-z (stop-shell-subjob), nothing happens: the shell and any subjob keep chugging along. Anyone know a way around this? I seem to remember using this on the Apollo with no problem before, but I can't remember when it stopped working. I would really like to use shell mode more often... I get this running % gnuemacs -q which means I am loading vanilla shell.elc, or if I load cmushell instead. (I would have posted this to gnu.emacs.bug, but I don't think this is a bug in GNU Emacs, it's probably local configuration problem.) djb -- David J. Biesack SAS Institute, Inc.

I had 8, named pty0 to pty7) % /etc/crpty 8 # creates eight new pty's djb -- David J. Biesack SAS Institute, Inc.
