Hi net,
{is Dan Lawrence out there?}
I recently decided to go ahead and get the new version of uemacs, (I
can't afford CED Pro...yet) so I got the uuencoded binaries off
of the archive server at kilowatt@sun.com. (I also got about a third of
the sources before I realized that I could just get the binaries).
Anyway, I finally moved everything onto my amiga and decompressed the
binaries.
Now, however, I'm having a couple problems getting it installed.
I had previously used uemacs3.9i, but was never really happy with it
since I could find no way to make my ALT key act as meta. On c.s.a, you
said that in 3.10 it could be done, so I assume that it's in the
documentation file emacs.txt. I haven't found it yet, but that might
just be a case of not looking hard enough. If it's NOT there (in the
docs), how do I do it?
Perhaps the biggest problem with uemacs 3.10 is that it is not letting
me make my editor window larger than 77 cols/19 rows. I'm using
morerows, and with uemacs3.9i I was able to get the size up to something
like 81 x 23. What do I do??
Another question I had was regarding the pull down menus--they're there
in 3.9i, but missing from 3.10. Any comments?
And one more question: is there any way to make a region turn inverse
video when it is selected (with the mouse or otherwise)?
I'm not sure what the problem is! Please help!!
Thanks in advance!
