Hello,

    I am a non-emacs-user who is trying to install emacs on our Sun system
for several users.

    I want to install both a x-windows and a strait terminal version.  I
have installed the X version with no problem.  I then removed the 
HAVE_X_WINDOWS option from config.h and compiled a new executable.

    It seems to work fine except that the arrow keys are not bound to
next-line etc.  Local emacs users assure me that this should be happening.

    So, my question.  How do people out there share the etc, lisp and such
files between the two copies?  Do I really need seperate sets of these
directories for the two executables?

Thanks
--Frank
