Hi

I did the following and everything worked out well:

	1. Got the emacs-18.55 distribution via anonymous ftp from
aeneas.mit.edu.

	2. After uncompressing and extracting the files using tar, I ftp'd to
byron.u.washington.edu via anonymous ftp. Cd'd to pub/aix/RS6000 and got all
the files from there to the appropriate directories.

	3. Followed the instructions in the emacs distribution and did a
build-install. 

Everything worked just fine. X-windows support works for the most part, except
mouse control. Good luck.
