I suppose it is possible that things hang and they are not accessible. I've never seen it with emacs, but I don't use emacs much (and then often -nw). Something I've seen a lot on different platforms though is that some `invisible emacs' hogs the CPU and the user, unless he does a ps, doesn't even know it's running. -- Phillip Helbig Email .........
