	Forgive me if this is a frequently asked question.  The FAQ
posting has expired on my site and I don't remember seeing anything like
my problem when I last read it.

	Well, here is the problem.  Yesterday, I installed the math-mode
for emacs which I downloaded from an anonymous ftp archive.  It makes
emacs act like a front-end for Mathematica and the interface is
practically like the one they have for Macintosh (oh no! I used the "M"
word in this newsgroup!) and is really wonderful.  I got it working and 
tested it for some simple cases.  

	I am, however, having problems with graphics.  When I normally
use Mathematica on my machine (a Solbourne 5/804 running OS/SMP 4.0D 
which I believe is similar to SunOS 4.0), I use an initialization file
called init.m to setup my terminal graphics.  I tried to load the file
while in math-mode using the command "<< init.m" which did give me the
usual start-up message.  However, when I actually tried to plot some
graphics, it came back to me with the response
	Out[18] = -Graphics-

	I believe this has something to do with the terminal
initialization for emacs, but I am a complete novice at emacs and cannot
figure out what to do.  Did I mention that I use a terminal that
emulates vt100/tek4014?

	I enclose the Mathematica initialization file init.m if that
helps.  Any response will be appreciated.  Let me know if I omitted some
relevant information.

	Thanks,

$DisplayWidth = 780

$Display := $TekDisplay
$TekDisplay := StringJoin["!tekps -h '", ToString[N[$DisplayHeight]],
				"' -w '", ToString[N[$DisplayWidth]],
				"'" ]

$DisplayFunction = Display[$Display, #]&
