I'm a relative newcomer to the world of Emacs and I have a problem. I'm trying to port an emacs based text editor to a Sun Workstation. The editor was written for an hp2645 and used reverse video to highlight selected text. The mlisp code uses "send-string-to-terminal" to write the reverse video escape sequence to the terminal. I thought it would be a simple matter of translating the escape sequences from hp to Sun (via their termcap entries) and firing it up. Alas, I was fooling myself. The cursor moves to the correct positions (i.e. left, right, up and down escapes work) but no reverse video. Does anyone out there have any ideas? - Thanks in advance -- ========================================= -Tom Thomas C. Palmer palmer@unc decvax!mcnc!unc!palmer
