	Did you have to do anything special to get demacs working with
Desqview/X? If I try to run demacs under Desqview/X, it reboots my machine! This
is with Desqview 1.02 and demacs 1.2.0.

	Also, has anyone else had problems with file locking? Many times when I
attempt to edit a file, I get the message "Cannot load file "userlock"" and
demacs refuses to change the file. Other times it works fine. I also get a lot
of "File has changed since last read. Save anyway?" stuff, which I know is
incorrect since this is a truly single-user machine.
