The forward search, cntl s does not do anything. Only in some cases, the other cntl > sequences I use will work like C-x C-c, and C-r for reverse search. Other cases, the terminal is hung and I cannot break from it. This happens accessing > the system with putty, CDE, gnome, as root, or as another account. This happens on solaris 8 and 9, but the systems in question are RHEL 3 updt 4 with GNU > Emacs 21.3.1 On this redhat system, the C-r, C-x, C-c will work, but not C-s. This is a FAQ, see: http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/emacs-21.1/html_chapter/faq_10.html#SEC139 Which raises another question: why is the Emacs FAQ not on gnu.org with the rest of the documentation? Yes, I know, I should probably file a bug report... 8;-) Regards, Anselm
