I'm running GNU Emacs 18.47 on a SYSVR2 machine.  I've installed the
pty driver that was on the net into my os, and have put the HAVE_PTYS,
and the FIRST_PTY_LETTER defines into my include file.

I'm able to compile emacs just fine, however when I spawn off a shell
(w/M-x shell) it doesn't use a pty.  The same is true when I try and
use the shell-command function.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought that the pty stuff was going to go
out to /etc/utmp and create an entry and do all the wonderful
switching that would make everybody think that they were talking to a
real terminal.

Could someone explain what should be happening, and potentially what I
am doing wrong?  I'd sure appreciate it!
