hi
   we are using emacs version 18.55. whenever we are on a vt220 window,
and type 2 C-g in a row, it boots us all the way out of the machine! ie,
it kills the bash it was running under, and i am logged out. to prevent
this i try setting the variable "inhibit-quit" to nonnil but emacs won't
let me set it atall... but it emacs does let me examine the variable with
"C-h v inhibit-quit" and comes up with nil as its value.

   anybody have similar problems? any info/help/fix much appreciated.
thanks
krishna
