   When I use X11 on my RT (running AIX 2.2.1), programs sending 
output to AIX shells halt whenever I use Alt-Action to switch from
the X11 screen to the regular console screen.  They resume activity
when I flip back to the X11 screen.  I've looked for an stty setting
that controls this I/O blocking, but I can't find it.  Can anyone 
help me out?  
   Thanks in advance.
