Re: LYNX-DEV ctrl+G bug report continued

[JDD(Jeff)]

Thanks for the suggestions.

I mostly noticed this problem when using 'lynx' in my NetBSD
account, currently 'lynx' 2.7 (I'm not sure which version I
started noticing the problem).


'emacs' in my NetBSD account says:

When I use 'c' from 'lynx', then M-x, 'shell', Enter, 'stty -a',
Enter in 'emacs', I see no '^G'.  Of course, if I hit ctrl+G in
'emacs' before using 'stty -a', Enter, hitting either Enter or
Line-Feed no longer does anything, so I can't execute the 'stty
-a'.


'uname -a' in my NetBSD account says:

I don't know how to check for that.

Using 'lynx' 2.37 Beta in my SunOS account (the latest version
NetCom officially supports) I don't notice the problem.

Using 'lynx' 2.6 in my BSDI account, I don't get quite the
disaster I described for when I use 2.7 in my NetBSD account.
In my BSDI account, I'm able to use ctrl+G pretty successfully,
but when I leave 'emacs' (with C-x, C-c), I get the message

> Error spawning  ditor, check your editor definition in the options menu

(which I don't get if I didn't use C-g in 'emacs); I haven't yet
tested whether mail is actually sent properly when I get that
error in my BSDI account.

Um, I don't know what a lot of this stuff means or if I've given
useful or unnecessary information.  Further comments are sure
welcome.
