I am running emacs 18.54 under Xenix 2.3.2. Whenever or wherever I
type C-g it seems to interrupt all processes that are running under
emacs. The shell buffer will print a new prompt, and if a program is
executing in the shell buffer, that process gets an interrupt signal
and aborts. A compilation started with (compile) is interrupted. The
time and load display aborts.
Further (and related?), the C-c C-c and C-c C-d keys don't seem to do
anything in the shell buffer; definitely not their ascribed functions
of sending interrupt and EOF to the shell process. In their absence,
I had been using the misplaced effect of C-g to interrupt a shell
process, but losing the time display is annoying and having a
concurrent compilation abort as another side effect is cause for
grumbling.
The effects are the same whether the shell is the standard Xenix
Bourne shell or the MKS Korn shell. I am not a csh user, so I haven't
tried it with that.
...I can elaborate a little on the C-c C-d.... When it is typed, nothing
appears to happen, but if return is pressed the shell prints the message:
^D: not found
Any light you can shed will be appreciated.

I will add one more piece of information to my previous message
regarding processes aborting when C-g is typed. I said the OS
is Xenix 2.3.2; I should have been more specific: Xenix 386 2.3.2.

The >time and load display aborts. I am also running 18.54 under SCO Xenix/386 2.3.2. I used to have the same problem, but if I remember correctly it went away by defining HAVE_PTYS and FIRST_PTY_LETTER in src/s-xenix.h (they are commented out by default). -- Andreas Gustafsson Internet: gson@niksula.hut.fi Voice: +358 0 563 5592
