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.
