I'm trying to use emacs with Sun's Openwindows.
This emacs is rev 18.55, compiled under 4.0.3, no
X11 stuff.  It works fine with sunview & over diallups
& telnets under SunOS 4.1.

Using Openwindows (1.x or 2.0), emacs won't start.
In 1.x, it would hang, & nothing would ever happen in
that (xterm,psterm,command tool, take your pick) until
the emacs process was killed from elsewhere.  In 2.0,
a message something like the following is printed:
Lost contact with window
Hangup
& the (xterm...) is ready for a new command.  By the way,
this happens very quickly, something very early in the
emacs startup is being tripped.

Does anyone have any ideas about what's  gone wrong?

Thanks,
Michael Helm
