I have what I think is a bug to report.

I have emacs-21.2.1 running on Max OSX 10.3.7.  However, before I = realized this, I tried to download emacs from ftp.gnu.org, and also = ftp.kernel.org.  From kernel .org, I believe I downloaded 21.1 by = mistake, and tried to configure it by typing
     ./configure
which failed with the following message:

loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin7.7.0
configure: error: Emacs hasn't been ported to = `powerpc-apple-darwin7.7.0' systems.
Check `etc/MACHINES' for recognized configuration names.

I then downloaded emacs-21.3 from ftp.gnu.org, with a similar = result.  Now, on the web at
     <http://ww= w.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html#Platforms>
the operating system Mac-OS X is listed as an OS which Emacs 21 runs on = regardless of machine type.  Clearly, I do have emacs running on my = machine, so it does work.  Then, there must be a problem with the = configure script, or something related to it.  By the way, when I = run emacs, on my machine, I get the following in the initial buffer:

Welcome to GNU Emacs

Get help           = C-h  (Hold down CTRL and press h)
Undo changes       C-x = u       Exit = Emacs           &n= bsp;   C-x C-c

It appears that my copy of emacs recognizes a different version of the = OS or hardware than do the copies I downloaded.

Also, I am unclear on something.  I have been using emacs on my = Redhat system, and a port on WinXP.  Both of those support multiple = frames.  However, when I typed C-x 5 2 on my copy of emacs, it did = nothing, or else it blinked, but I don't see a new top-level = window.  If this is because it is running in terminal mode, that I = understand.  However, I can't seem to get a copy of emacs running = NOT in terminal mode, and I think that if this is impossible, that = should be explained somewhere.
