][b
	I just tried to enable pseudo terminal support in GNU emacs 18.50
    after about a year of doing without.  Well it almost works.  I have
    two problems:

    1.	When running the terminal emulator, when a program goes into cbreak
    mode (e.g. vi), I have to press each key twice to have it recognized by
    the program. For exampmle, in vi to move down to the right I press jjll.
    When I get out of vi into say the shell, it works fine again.

    2.	When in shell mode, su won't run, it just says "Sorry".

    	On a related note, there seems to be no xenix documentation
    whatsoever on the pseudo terminals supplied with Xenix 386 2.3.2.
    I have looked closely enough to know that specifying SYSV_PTYS to
    GNU emacs won't work (sys/pty doesn't exist).

	Does anyone have any recommendations, or hard information about
    haw ptys work in xenix?

						Thanks,

    whatsoever on the pseudo terminals supplied with Xenix 386 2.3.2.
    I have looked closely enough to know that specifying SYSV_PTYS to
    GNU emacs won't work (sys/pty doesn't exist).

	Does anyone have any recommendations, or hard information about
    haw ptys work in xenix?

	I just tried to enable pseudo terminal support in GNU emacs 18.50
    after about a year of doing without.  Well it almost works.  I have
    two problems:

    1.	When running the terminal emulator, when a program goes into cbreak
    mode (e.g. vi), I have to press each key twice to have it recognized by
    the program. For exampmle, in vi to move down to the right I press jjll.
    When I get out of vi into say the shell, it works fine again.

    2.	When in shell mode, su won't run, it just says "Sorry".

    	On a related note, there seems to be no xenix documentation
    whatsoever on the pseudo terminals supplied with Xenix 386 2.3.2.
    I have looked closely enough to know that specifying SYSV_PTYS to
