signals not working in shells run under emacs on SUSE 6.3

[Jerry Feldman]

Also, look at the SuSE support page. There is an update on the SuSE 
updates page for both emacs and xemacs. The way I to my updates is to 
use YaST. When you go to install packages, select ftp, and it defailts to 
the updates section by default. As you go down each section you get the 
standard list of packages, and it will tell you if it is already installed or if 
you have an older version installed, or none at all. There are some recent 
security updates, expecially to bind and lprold.Another package corrects 
permisisions on the /dev/pts entries. 

BTW: the printing problem that I had reported earlier was a result of a 
couple of cockpit errors. One was selecting a non-existent printer for 
apsfilter. The other was a permission problem not resulting from the 
upgrade.
