I am also working with MSC (version 4.0) and had only one minor problem when I compiled MicroEmacs 3.9e (the latest version which was posted on Usenet). This problem relates to the Subshell spawning. But if you know just a little bit of C, there is no problem to fix it (add a routine specific to MSC). Some time ago, there was even a posting in comp.sources.bugs describing all the necessary steps to do that. >I have been having a very annoying problem with the >older version, and am wondering if it has been fixed, or if someone has a >work around.

I am sure you enable breaking with ^C (either in config.sys or in autoexec.bat) Turn this off, and all your problems have gone :-) I know this is not the solution to this problem we all want to have. Perhaps you can do it with signal(). If not you have to included a function of your own which intercepts the break vector of MS-DOS. Have a nice day, ...urs UUCP: ...seismo!mcvax!cernvax!ethz!zu
