I opened Games under the "Tools" bar, then I selected GOMOKU. However
instead of playing GOMOKU I decided to play tricks on GOMOKU with 
ZONE OUT game. I am not sure if ZONE OUT Game is applicable to other 
emacs application e.g e-macs Games apart from the Text that it seems to 
support it well. Nonetheless, Upon launching ZONE OUT on GOMOKU, emacs
freezes completely. The window is inactive, Menu bar, the mouse among other
buttons are disabled. And emacs-22.3 cannot be closed or aborted from 
the Windows display screen. 
The only way to close this e-macs instances is by restarting the computer.

I was thinking that if, ZONE OUT does not support other emacs applications
or is not applicable. It should atleast throw an Error message such as 
"Zone Out is not Applicable to this Application". Or it should atleast let 
you close the running buffer or e-macs IDE from the Menu bar. Apparently
none of this Exit or Close procedures works.  

I am running: GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
ON: Microsoft Windows XP Professional -vs 2002 SP2.

Thanks, this is mostly fixed in the Emacs trunk now.
(Some of the zone things still don't do much in the Gomoku buffer,
since it does not contain many normal text characters.)
