diff README.multi-tty @ 83035:fcf6fc349e0d

Don't hang on the tty if called from a shell script. src/sysdep.c (narrow_foreground_group): Set the process group to inherited_pgroup before calling EMACS_SET_TTY_PGRP. Removed confusing inherited_pgroup initialization (it is done in emacs.c). (Reported by Istvan Marko <mi-mtty at kismala dot com>.) git-archimport-id: [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-75
