System name:		TLA
Type and version:	KN01 7.6B (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAX-MFB

Note that this also happens on a 7.4H maxine (lockpick)

What were you trying to do?
	restart an edsc I had quit out of.
	Order of events:
		start discuss (M-x disc RETURN)
		read discuss
		quit discuss (q in meetings buffer)
		do other stuff
		try to restart discuss (M-x disc RETURN)

What's wrong:
	It sits there with the message "Starting discuss..."
	It doesn't freeze the emacs or anything, and if I tell it to do
	something (l, g, etc.) It actually starts an edsc process and does it.

What should have happened:
	Since (uncustomized) edsc lists meetings on startup that's what
	I expected it to do when I restarted it.  If you don't think
	it should do that, how about replacing the "Starting discuss..."
	message with something more accurate.
