Hello, I'm using ange-ftp (ange-ftp.el,v 4.20 92/08/14 17:04:34) with GNU-Emacs 18.57.2 or 18.58.1 on DECstations (Ultrix 4.2A or 4.3 with DECs X11R4). It is possible to run ange-ftp (e.g. copying a remote file) in the background and edit another buffer etc. One has to press Ctrl-G before maybe, but I don't think it's neccessary. This is a feature that's very neat and I would like to use it, BUT... .. normally I work under X11 (at least if I'm at university and not at home...) and Emacs won't accept any keyboard event (any event?) while copying a file etc... That's not the way I like to see... Is this a bug in our configuration (I don't think so), a bug in ange-ftp or tree-dired (sorry, forgot about tree-dired, using that, too (rev. 5.239), or generally impossible? Any help will be appreciated, also any hint how to change ange-ftp or dired, if changes are neccesary. (I'm quite capable of doing elisp-programming.) Have a nice day, Lutz. -- ( Lutz Pre"sler <IRC: lp> | email: lpressl@GWDG.DE | Insert your ) ( Kreuzburger Stra"se 11 | EARN: LPRESSL@DGOGWDG1 | favorite ) ( W-3400 G"ottingen, Germany.
