My hyperactive friend has apparently run into the emergency escape feature that too many 'C-g' will cause XEmacs to 'Abort (and dump core)' Emergency Escape ---------------- Because at times there have been bugs causing Emacs to loop without checking `quit-flag', a special feature causes Emacs to be suspended immediately if you type a second `C-g' while the flag is already set, ... Abort (and dump core)? (y or n) ... The info page implies that this feature can turned off: The double-`C-g' feature may be turned off when Emacs is running under a window system, since the window system always enables you to kill Emacs or to create another window and run another program. How does one go about turning this feature off? I'm running on windows. I don't need another program that tries to abort (½ :-) when things happen too fast. Thanks. -jeff
