Is there a way to go up a line other than ^P? I am using a crude version of EMACS on a PR1ME, and ^P is a signal to the PR1MOS OS to quit whatever you're doing. It makes it quite useless to EMACS.

<> If you are using the standard PRIMOS Emacs, it uses ^Z wherever normal Emacs uses ^P in order to get around this problem. Incidentally, for you trivia buffs, the Pr1me Emacs was co-written by Bob Frankston, co-creator of Visicalc. -- Barry Margolin ARPA: barmar@MIT-Multics UUCP: ..!genrad!mit-eddie!barmar

#R:alice:-240700:uicsl:21900004:000:746 uicsl!mather Dec 21 12:37:00 1983 If you have a version of emacs that allows redefinition of the keymap, you can re-bind the 'previous-line' function to whatever key you wish. Let's make control-U the previous-line function. First, do the old esc-x to get to command mode, then type: bind-to-key previous-line ^U (^U is a single key-stroke) Now, emacs, being wise and predictive, will insert prompts before each field (when you type <space>), so that it will look like: : bind-to-key name: previous-line key: ^U Now, control-U will take you up a line (as will control-P until you rebind it.) This can also be done by putting the bind-to-key command in your .emacs_pro file. B.C. uiucdcs!uicsl!mather
