[putting xemacs-beta back into the conversation.] Mike> Thank you! This has been annoying me off and on for years (May 2000, Mike> according to my notes), but I never got around to looking at it.

Do you have any problems Aidan> with resuming gnuclient sessions after this patch was committed? After looking at the patch more carefully, it occurred to me that I could test this without installing and building 21.5. Unfortunately, I seem to have stumbled into a mass of confusion... In 21.4.18, C-z is bound to suspend suspend-emacs-or-iconify-frame. Neither that or suspend-or-iconify-emacs gives me my shell back. But suspend-emacs does. So that seems to be backwards from Aidan's patch. What's more confusing is that I'm suddenly having problems getting "gnuclient -nw" to start up at all. When I run it, instead of getting an XEmacs frame, it hangs. If I C-z it, I get ^Z[2] + Stopped (SIGTSTP) /usr/local/bin/gnuclient -nw [1] - Stopped (SIGTTOU) xemacs & Putting job 1 (xemacs) into the foreground gives me my tty frame. But then I can't get out with C-x 5 0. The tty frame is cleared, but I don't get my shell back. This is on Solaris, a recent development build of 5.11, using ksh as my shell. I'll try to look into this further, since it could be a Solaris issue, but it'll take me a few days. mike
