Actually, that's not what I'm talking about. Here's the scenario
1) start long download from MSIE, NS4, whatever.
2) start emacs
3) type, type, <cr>, type, type, <cr>, type..
--> download is done, some confirmation dialog shows up, *grabs focus*
3) type, type, type, <cr>
<cr> ==> means "OK" in the dialog box -- it should have gone to emacs.
is that clearer?
