Re: `y-or-n-p' does not wait for input - assumes `n'

   If I understand you correctly, you had an opposite behavior: you never saw

   n)" in *Messages*. Is that correct? (This is getting a bit crazy.)

Yes.

   If, as you say, the pb exists in 21.3, then I should see your problem (not
   my 2 pbs), but I don't. I wonder if these differences are related to
   platforms. Are you on a different platform?

GNU/Linux with default LUCID toolkit.  But note that changes have been
made to y-or-n-p related stuff since your July version that fixed a
very similar looking bug.  The behavior you describe would only be
meaningful if somebody can verify it with current CVS.
