Subject: Ctrl-h n not working in 20-b10/19.15 on a tty

Hi, all!

Thanx everybody for a great 19.15!

Now, what are you planning for small bugs found in 19.15? Do you plan
to, say announce "end of life" for 19.15? I would welcome if
some patches could be made available that fix some annoyances. I
understand that you want everybody to switch over to xemacs-20, but for
us tty-only users, I don't see too much advantage in this move; that's
why I'd like to see some support for 19.15.

Having said that, let me explain my problem: on a xemacs configured
for tty-only try to press Ctrl-h n (for the news), it will fail with
the following lisp backtrace.

xemacs has been configured with the following command:
./configure  m68k-next-nextstep --prefix=/usr/local/xemacs --with-x=no
--rel-alloc=no --cflags=-O4 -pipe --with-canna=no --with -wnn=no
--with-wnn6=no 


Configured for `m68k-next-nextstep'.

  Where should the build process find the source code?
/usr/local/src/xemacs- 20.1-b10
  What installation prefix should install use?
/usr/local/xemacs
  What operating system and machine description files should XEmacs
use?
        `s/nextstep.h' and `m/m68k.h'
  What compiler should XEmacs be built with?              cc -O4 -pipe
  Should XEmacs use the GNU version of malloc?            yes
  Should XEmacs use the relocating allocator for buffers? no
  What window system should XEmacs use?                   none
  Finding WNN includes with:                              
  Loading WNN libs with:                                  
  Compiling in support for DBM.
