That's very weird. I can confirm this behavior on xemacs with the
5.3.2. Also, another thing related to the original post, if I do \C-c
\C-l like David suggested, the commands are never echoed to the *R*
buffer, nor the output! You just stare at it until a new > appears and
all of the good stuff went to the big bit-bucket up in the sky. Who
wants that? I must be missing something very fundamental here.
