I am using Emacs 3.0, the emacs front end, on a stand-alone NeXTstation
named "angus" running NeXTSTEP 3.0.
   When I started Emacs the first time, it produced the message ``Unknown
host "angus"''.  That seems to come from the call to open-network-stream in
the lisp code.  I patched that problem by changing the open-network-stream
call to use the host name "localhost".  Now Emacs produces the message
``The event handler has exited abnormally with code 256^J'' (sic) when it
starts up.  But Emacs does handle mouse and character events properly as
far as I can see.
   Is there some graceful fix for either of these problems?
