I know this must be a FAQ, but I've been waiting around now for a few
weeks for the appearance of a FAQ posting and I've haven't seen one,
so I decided I couldn't wait any longer.

The problem concerns C-s in emacs.  First, let me tell you what I
already know so I can get to the specific question.  I know that
C-s/C-q is used for control flow and that's got to do with the
problem.  I also know that by playing around with stty settings and
the modem transfer setup when dialing up I can pretty much control the
problem.

However, when I'm using emacs on an AIX system (an rs6000), and I try
to C-n through the bottom of the screen, the whole screen gets screwed
up.  (Oh, btw, I'm rlogged in from an esprit terminal.)  The message
in the minibuffer is "Failing I-search: ^Q" -- so it seems that when
it tries to scroll up the new screenful, C-s/C-q automatically get
called.  I've tried 'stty -ixon -ixany -ixoff' (and lots of other
combinations of these) and it doesn't seem to help.  When I do 'stty -a',
it still thinks C-s/C-q are the stop/start characters.  I thought
doing 'stty -ixon' was supposed to disable that.  Is there another
stty parameter I can change to control this?

Thanks for any help.

I would prefer a solution that does not rebind the emacs keys --
I can get by without C-s/C-q for stop/start.  Lastly, I've noticed
that this tends to me more of a problem on the AIX systems I use (the
rs6000s an the RTs) -- I've not had any problems on the suns I use
(running bsd unix).
