Several of our users have repeatedly run into
problems trying to use emacs on several of our
platforms, using various telecommunication means
to these systems.

It appears that the traditional ^X^S rather than
saving the edited file, simple suspends the process,
requiring a ^Q be sent.

Is there some graceful means of REBINDING it all
so that some simpler sequence, that is less likely
to suspend the current shell, can be put together.

I know that the ^X^W will give the users the same
utility as vi's ':w! <fileName>' but I think that
our users are looking for something on the order
of vi's ':w'.

Any assistance you can offer in this will be appreciated.

{I have included alt.religion.emacs in the subject line
because I am aware that some devotee's of emacs are found there.
This is NOT a call to a flamefest.}
