This will not solve your problem, but i suppose it's the expected behaviour on a terminal (the hang i mean) as Ctrl-s is usually bind to the stop character (IIRC Ctrl-q should be the start character). Here, with, zsh it's disabled using "unsetopt flowcontrol", but i've done it only to have in the shell a working "history incremental search forward" when i use Ctrl-s. From what i recall, it has never been a problem when using Emacs... -- Andrea
