The rest will come from + `process-environment'. + +** (Possibly) create hooks in struct device for creating frames on a + specific terminal, and eliminate the hackish terminal-related frame + parameters (display, tty, tty-type). + + make_terminal_frame + create_tty_output + + +** Move Fsend_string_to_terminal to term.c, and declare get_named_tty + as static, removing it from dispextern.h. + Move fatal to emacs.c and declare it somewhere. + ** Search for `suspend-emacs' references and replace them with `suspend-frame', if necessary.
