It would be nice if, after foregrounding an emacs that has been paused with ^G^G, quit-flag were set to t. As it is now, if something like (let ((inhibit-quit t)) (while t)) happens, ^G^G will get you out of emacs, but there is no way of getting back to top-level. (Not that I condone binding inhibit-quit, mind you...) Maybe this should only happen when the ^G^G handler is entered twice consecutively. Another request: I really wish ^G^G had some effect under X11! I realize there is no good way yo suspend the job, but couldn't it go directly to the "autosave? dump core?" prompts? Maybe there should be a third prompt, "abort to top-level?" if the user chooses not to dump core. -- Jamie
