Thank you >very much for advice. > >Charlie Li I find that the following helps, (put this in your .emacs file): (defun vax-terminal () "This function should be called by the term-setup-hook mechanism in your .emacs file in order to tailor the VT200 keypad map to your own purposes" (interactive) (enable-arrow-keys) (edt-emulation-on)) (setq term-setup-hook 'vax-terminal) ; remap keys in due time I believe that you need to 'enable-arrow-keys' which comes from vt200.el, in /lib/lisp/term. Ensure, that in your .login, you have the TERM environment variable defined (ie: set TERM=vt200), because EMACS uses that terminal type to look for the enable-arrow-keys function. Hope this helps, -Natalie (p.s., if your want an eve-plus type of emulation, I have one....) nat@drao.nrc.ca
