The Wyse 60 termcap entry which we got from somewhere else doesn't
work at all right with GNU Emacs ver. 18.45. By trial and error,
I discovered that removing the "km" entry got it to work right.
However, the local manuals give no documentation at all on a "km"
entry. So, the question is:
- What does the "km" entry mean?
- Should removing it mess up any other programs?

RTTM (Read The Termcap Manual): km bool Has a ``meta'' key (shift, sets parity bit) Emacs assumes that a `km' terminal will send characters with `space' parity unless the `meta' key is held down. Emacs will interpret such keys as if they were prefixed with ESC (`meta' in Emacs parlance). -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7163) Domain: chris@cs.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris
