I am running v18.57 on an ibm risc6000 under AIX, with X11. I have compiled 
emacs with HAVE_X_WINDOWS, X11, HAVE_X_MENU. I am running a popdown menu
package by Russell Ritchie (it can be found at tut.cis.ohio-state.edu).
My problem is that I can get the menus to work fine, but the keyboard
special keys do not work. I have determined that this is because x-win.el
is loading and aixterm.el (which is a link to hft.el) is not. as a kludge
I tried (load "/usr/local/emacs/lisp/term/aixterm.el), and also with
aixterm.elc, in default.el and default.elc, but in all cases it takes about
3 minutes to load, loasing aixterm.el .... done comes up several times,
as well as Garbage-Collecting. I tried to fix this by doing an autoload
(autoload 'aixterm "see above" "aixterm nnil), but that did not work. So I
changed the nil to a t and now do Meta-X aixterm, to get it to load aixterm.
I get an undefined function (as expected) but it does work. I also tried
loading from my .emacs, but this fails as well. Before I can impliment this
for the users I support I need to get it to load the proper term type
automaticly. In a related problem, I tried this compiled version of emacs with
a z29-e termianl, and it munged the screen and screwed up in a varity of ways.
I then tried a version without all the X stuff defined and it worked fine.
What can I do to get it to load the proper terminal type automaticly? 
(In both cases).

Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild
With a Faery hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you
 can understand.
