I, too just got it up an running on our Sun 3's under SunOS 4.0 an I like
it a lot. my major complaint is that window resizes don't generate
notifications to the program running in it. basically, resizing a window
and then running emacs screws things up royally. it goes exclusively by the
termcap entry, and can't figure out where to place the characters. under
suntools, everything worked normally.

I too, would like some way of easily closing a window that is used as an
rlogin to another machine. the ``close'' command works fine for local
windows.

I use the termcap entry generated by ``set_emacs'' and it works fine.
