Yes. > Is your suspend character set to Ctrl+Z? Yes. (I also verified this by doing the "stty -a", just to be sure.) The symptoms (gosh, wouldn't have been nice for me to include the symptoms the first time) are different from those I would expect for a different, or missing, suspend character. xemacs stops taking input, but won't start the shell. I can hit ^C a couple of times and get xemacs' attention, but the only thing it'll let me do is abort the edit and dump core (and it won't do the core dump because the default core size, as set by ulimit, is 0, and I never remember to change that before I run emacs.) This is under Debian 2.1 as most recently released, kernel V2.2.3, and xemacs20-nomule-20.4-13. (FWIW, it also does this if I use the mule executable, not that it should make any difference.) Is it possible that the .emacs or the .xemacs-options file has something in it that could cause this behavior? -- Jonathan Guthrie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Brokersys +281-895-8101 http://www.brokersys.com/ 12703 Veterans Memorial #106, Houston, TX 77014, USA
