      we are using a product called '"MultiView" that is a windowing system 
 that allows one to run a number of "applications or utilities while sharing
 the same screen..." - it's a window program that creates psuedo tty's and
 allows the user to page thru the windows (and processes, etc. etc. ....)
 a problem that exists is that an idle emacs session (no keystrokes) hogs
 the processor and brings the system idle time  down to zero.

   called Mview to ask 'em about it and they didn't know what emacs was, nor 
  anything about FSF or GNU! Any suggestions other than mine of leaving this 
  piece of capitolistic, korn-dog stuff for the "vi" guys? Emacs 18.52.3
  on AIX (ibm) 2.2.1
