Sirs,

I believe I have found a bug with binding forward incremental search
to a key other than C-s. The bug is that repeated use of the
newly-bound-to key does not repeat the search.  The binding is: 

	M-x global-set-key C-] isearch-forward.

The test applies to the following line:

	This is a test test test of re-binding isearch-forward to C-].

and consists of typing

	C-] test C-] C-]		(spaces added for clarity, not typed)

with the cursor beginning at the beginning of the line indicated
above.  This procedure properly finds the first occurance.  After the
second C-], we are left with "I-search:" followed by nothing, waiting
for input, and do not move to the second occurance.

The following EMAIL message will contain an appropriate dribble file.

We desire to rebind isearch-forward because many graphics terminals trap C-s, 
and it cannot be used.  I am presently using Unipress Emacs, and wish to 
switch to GNU-Emacs, which I see as the wave of the future, but will not do
so unless this bug can be fixed.

Thank you very much.
