For those of you who like to know such things:

% tail -2 /etc/version
Athena Workstation (VS3100) Version Update Wed Dec 13 13:28:47 EST 1989
Athena Workstation (VS3100) Version 6.4R Wed Dec 13 13:29:53 EST 1989

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The problem is that when I'm running Emacs under mwm, the command
M-space brings up the mwm menu (Move|Size|Iconify etc), when the mouse
pointer is WITHIN THE EMACS WINDOW.

M-space is supposed to be mappable in GnuEmacs, and is in fact default
mapped to the function:

} just-one-space		      ESC SPC
}   Function: Delete all spaces and tabs around point, leaving one space.

I reported this awhile back, well before relevant cutoff dates.  I
recieved no reply at that time.  I have only recently resumed using mwm,
and so have only just discovered that it is still broken.

If there are no plans to repair this, please let me know, so that I can
include a page on how to kill mwm and start uwm in the Intro to Athena
course.  (It seems only fair.)
