I think that I have finally figured out what is causing Micro Emacs to break
at unexpected times. I am having basically two problems.

1. If I type ^X^S ^X^C quickly then it does not finish saving the file
before exiting and also it does not deallocate the window. This leave a
dead emacs window floating around(I have two right now).

2. Some times it justs breaks. I will type some command and the window
will die. I check the CLI and it says **BREAK - CLI.

Until recently I thought this were unrelated spurious bugs. It seems to
me know that the problem is that not all the ^C's are being sent to the
console device. In other words, while DOS function are active it is checking
for control C breaks. I just experienced a problem of the 2 nature and it
occured when I did a DOS command, however I did not type control C. However
just before doing the DOS command, I had typed some control C's. Has any
one else had similar problems. Is there a new release that does not have
these problems? If the author read this please take note. If you want
a better description of the problems I have had you can write me at any
of the addresses below an I will try to describe it better.
