I am running GNU Emacs 18.55.0 of Wed May  9 1990 on tempest (Domain/OS)
on DOMAIN/IX BSD4.2 (SR9.7) on an Apollo 3500.  When I do M-x shell
or run a CMU shell, the csh (my default shell) comes up with the following:

  Warning: no access to tty; thus no job control in this shell...

If I try to query the tty, I get:

  javelin:~/ % tty
  not a tty

If I try C-c C-c (interrupt-shell-subjob) or C-c C-z
(stop-shell-subjob), nothing happens: the shell and any subjob keep
chugging along. Anyone know a way around this?  I seem to remember
using this on the Apollo with no problem before, but I can't remember
when it stopped working.  I would really like to use shell mode more
often...  I get this running

  % gnuemacs -q

which means I am loading vanilla shell.elc, or if I load cmushell instead.

(I would have posted this to gnu.emacs.bug, but I don't think this
is a bug in GNU Emacs, it's probably local configuration problem.)
