When I use GNU emacs under VMS to do an incremental search, I find that
if I forget to terminate the search properly, emacs enters a brain-
damaged state where the arrow keys no longer work. The work-around is
to Ctrl-z out of emacs, then start it up again. Does anyone know a
real fix for this problem, which I assume is VMS-specific?

In case there is no fix, could somebody please tell me how VMS TPU can
be made to look like UNIX vi, as I have heard it can?

Thanks!
