[net.emacs] Wanted: Help with Unipress Emacs

unmesh@isosvax.UUCP (Unmesh Agarwala (@Intel, Phoenix)) (08/04/84)

    I have recently  begun using Unix on a VAX, and am experiencing several
problems with Unipress Emacs #264.  Two that are of  immediate concern are:

  1)  If any of the 'backup-...' variables are turned on, Emacs appends a
      period to the name of the file being updated, rather than a .BAK

  2)  I have not been able to figure out an elegant way of repeating the last
      command executed without creating a macro

    If anyone can provide assistance with these matters, I would be very
grateful.

P.S.  I am not including my pathname because I don't know what it is as yet,
      being new to USENET!

I can not mail this directly.  The problem with the .BAK problem is
probably because the config.h was not setup before emacs was made.
This file contains a list of defines which specify (amoung other things)
what is appended to backup files and checkpoint files.

If you here a reasonable solution to the repeat-last-command problem
let me know
