In GNU Emacs 18.55.1 of Sun Sep 17 1989 on ATT6386WGS (usg-unix-v) config: "ATT 6386 WGS" SysV.3 box w. ISC X11, Interlan ethernet. bug: no async functionality of control-g when running under X. (All elisp will run to completion before C-g is acted upon.) When emacs is run on a terminal (or under xterm directly) C-g is honored. Is it possible to get async control G to work on an X11 machine without SIGIO? It looks like it may not be possible. I quick trip through emacs with gdb revealed that the SIGINT stuff in the terminal driver is set only for the non-X case, and the interrupt driven IO is used only for BSD machines. With both of these off emacs gets no async C-g. Am I missing something? -wolfgang --- These *$#@ uucp machines insist on mangling the Reply-to: headers.
