It turns out EMACS, when compiled on AIX 2.2.1, does not respond to keystrokes when run other than in its own X window. The problem is that the AIX header files now define FIONREAD, but the system appears not to have it properly implemented. So, one should now add #define BROKEN_FIONREAD to the m-ibmrt-aix.h file. This can be safely added whether or not you are currently running on AIX 2.2.1 -- do it now and don't get burned later. My apologies go to those inconvenienced by my reaction that there wasn't a problem -- no one here runs other than under X, and it took me a while to understand the circumstances of the complaint. My thanks go to Tom Engelsiepen who traced down the problem and the fix. - Dave
