We have a public domain emacs here at btr, and I'm not sure what
the source is.  I know that's not getting off to a good start,
but here goes.
It seems much like UniPress emacs, except for a few glitches.
The main one is, I accidentally hit a search function, and it
never let me out of it.  I tried all kinds of combinations, and
nothing worked, escape, ^C, ^X, etc. etc.  The thing kept thinking
I was looking for ^C, ^X, etc. and it just said "not found" and
kept prompting for a search string.  (UniPress I think lets
you bail out with an escape.)
In any case, is there a general thing I can do when I'm stuck
in an apparent endless loop like that?
