I use Gosling Emacs under AT&T Unix Operating System with a terminal that
has a behaviour with DC1/DC3 that I find less than ideal.  I decided to
bite the bullet and change my fingers' habits in Emacs to avoid typing
those two characters (no mean trick, as I use Mince at home).  Besides
re-binding the Emacs functions normally called with command sequences that
include ^S and ^Q, I found that I had to turn flow control back on.  My
terminal requires a good deal of time to do some screen operations and
*displays* ASCII (NUL) characters.  Anyway, this line turns flow control
back on within the .emacs_pro:
   (execute-monitor-command "stty ixon <$TTY")
where the TTY environment variable is set and exported (TTY=`tty`).  I don't
remember why I had to use the environment variable, sorry.  Also, I have not
yet tried running gmacs from within a window, just in quasi-dumb terminal
mode.  (Anyone who has, please tell me what to expect.  Thanks.)
