Hi,

I'm helping some people with emacs and I nee a little help myself. Some
of these questions are vague but any help would be appreciated! (I am
using version 18.55.1 of gnu emacs)

1) The gnu-emacs manual I have(6th edition, version 18, Marh 1987) talk
about protection against simultaneous editing on page 88, sec. 15.3.2. 
I don't the behavior that this part of the manual talks about in that
when I edit the same buffer from two different emacs sessions I do not
get a warning message.  I also noticed the file userlock.el in my emacs
lisp directory which seems to be the support for this function but when
I loaded this file in with the load-library command I still didn't get
the desired behavior.

2) Is there any way to create menus for emacs?  We would like to be able
to select different emacs commands by poping up a menu with the mouse
button.  I fould the file x-menu.el but couldn't find documentation for
it.

3)When I first tried using emacs at the site I am at emacs would run but
no window would come up.  Later when an NFS server came back up memacs
window came up.  Is this because emacs may be stored on this server at
this sitre(I'm at Xerox)?  Could I prevent this problem by putting emacs
on my local hard disk? 

Thanks for any help!

(also any idea if it worth upgrading to version 18.57 of gnu emacs???)
