We have some users on site who are using NCSA telnet from a macintosh to
log into a SUN. If the term variable is set to vt100 and the user run
emacs, C-c does not
work properly. Has anyone seen this problem and is there a simple answer?
We have GNU emacs 18.55.1 .

Has anyone seen this problem > and is there a simple answer? We have GNU emacs 18.55.1 . Yes, I know exactly what this is, since it bit a user here and frustrated me for a bit. Chances are, you have mappings for ^C under the Setup Keys on the Session menu. I would recommed deleting any and all key mappings under that option. It seems that NCSA will trap for ^C, and send the telnet protocol equivlent of "interrupt" instead of passing the ^C through to emacs. Hope this helps. Peace, dNb

The two lines to look for are: localkeys = "{3,19,17}" localkeys = on I removed the mappings entirely by changing the second line to localkeys = off I suppose that you could remap the functions to different keys by changing the numerical values in the first line. sjm@unhd.unh.edu
