I am not sure what you mean by "lock up". I have no problems in editing perl, IRC and reading mail/news together it works fine for me and all I have to do is switch between the buffers in the normal emacs way. I have tried this on several platforms (solaris, linux and OpenBSD) and have never seen it lock up. However I am unable to compose a mail in mutt (or rather the spawned editor) and at the same time view previous messages or browse the address book (as I can with gnus). So for me it's mutt that seems to lock up. -- 1024/D9C69DF9 steve mynott [EMAIL PROTECTED] socialism: an attempt to curb the destructive power of monopolies by creating the biggest one of all.
