Hi,

I've run into this problem in two programs.  Both let you specify
a default editor (setenv EDITOR gnuemacs).  Both programs invoke the
editor with the command:
    sh -c gnuemacs /tmp/xxxxx

This just hangs until the process is killed.  What does gnuemacs
have against Bourne shells?

We are running 18.53.2 on SparcStation 1 with SunOS 4.1.

Thanks (much) in advance.


David
