I downloaded Crisp from wuarc and compiled under SunOS 1.2,
it produced an executable which promptly hangs when run.
Is there some trick, that I am missing?
I tried to customize Emacs, to make it accept some of the
basic Brief commands, but couldn't even get it to recognize
the arrow keys or the function keys.  I know there is a file
sunkeys.el, but don't know enough about Lisp or Emacs to get
anything going.  I tried running Brief itself (what a gem!)
under DOS windows (Sun's 286 emulation), but it's awfully slow.
A Sparc 2 ought to do better, so the bottom line is:
I'd prefer to get Crisp working.  Any advice?
BTW the Emacs manual says very little about customization
except that it is possible.  Please help, I really miss
Brief and I am getting mouse elbow from using Textedit.
