Also, emacs will not process button presses after this (at least not in the normal way). It seems that these buffers are created after processing the entire .emacs file. FIX: remove the line (setq term-file-prefix nil) from your .emacs file. I haven't looked for a real fix in the emacs sources. PRIORITY: low, but to me this looks like a clear bug. ENVIRONMENT: Sun Sparcstation I, SunOS 4.0.3 X11 release 3 from mit; uwm window manager GNU emacs version 18.55 Information from config.h file: #include "s-sunos4.h" #include "m-sparc.h" #define HAVE_X_WINDOWS #define X11 /* #define HAVE_X_MENU */ Tatu Yl|nen
