[comp.sys.mac] One more NCSA Telnet question

ws1g+@andrew.cmu.edu (William Charles Swarm) (04/08/90)

I can't run emacs or gnu-emacs under telnet.  The control characters aren't
recognized.  I can edit things, but can't escape the program.  Not even with
kill.  Any body had this problem?  Any body know how to fix it?

I don't have telnet in front of me, but I've had this problem before.  One
of the menu options can show you a dialog box that displays three control
key codes that do special things, like interrupt, stop scrolling, etc.
Usually, interrupt is set for ^C, which is necessary in emacs.  All you
have to do is go through the menus, find this dialog box, and change the
entry from ^C to something else, and then save your new Telnet settings.
I always just delete the ^C and leave the box empty!
