Hi
	I've recently installed VMS GNUEMACS 18.52.  We're using XON/XOFF mode,
so people are using the CTRL-\ key for the search command.  However, unlike
CTRL-S, when you enter a string to search for, and it finds a match, and then
you type CTRL-\ to search for the next occurence, it doesn't do so, but it
prompts for a new string.  Has anyone a fix for this?  Thanks.
