I've recently brought up GNU emacs on a SUN as well as on a VAX under VMS/EUNICE. No matter which machine I run on, when I use a vt220 terminal with GNU-emacs, the display is not updated correctly. For example sometimes when doing a ^O (open line) the stuff beneath the opened line does not scroll down correctly. My vt220's are all rev level 1.1 . When I tried the same experiment on rev level 2.0 vt220's everything worked just fine (vt100's also work correctly). Has anyone else had the same experience ? Have I really discovered a firmware bug in the older vt220's ? What can I do about it ? Please reply to me directly as I am not on your mailing list. My address is ajb@mitre.arpa.

Can anyone tell me the best proceedure for adding another directory
to my gnuemacs load-path? I would like to be able to add a statement
to my .emacs directory that would cause emacs to search my personal
directory of e-lisp functions. I have tried
(setq load-path (list load-path "~/emacs"))
which seems to give the correct value, but when I call an autoloaded
function I get the message
Wrong type argument: stringp, ("/usr/local/emacs/lisp")
"/usr/local/emacs/lisp" was the original value of load-path.
I know that I could setenv EMACSLOADPATH "/usr/local/emacs/lisp ~/emacs",
I was just hoping for a more general solution because there are other
variables which I would like to extend.
While on the subject, can anyone describe the various data types used
in e-lisp? Or better yet refer me to a printed or on-line source of
information.
Thank you in advance.

This works:
(setq isV17 (if (string= (substring emacs-version 0 2) "17") 'isV17))
;; A load-path that includes the locations of custom files.
(if isV17
(setq load-path
(cons nil
(cons "/usr/local/lib/gnuemacs/gould-custom/"
(cdr load-path))))
(setq load-path
(append
(list "/usr/local/lib/newmacs/gould-custom"
"/usr/local/lib/newmacs/lisp")
load-path))cantrell@killer.DALLAS.TX.US (Keith Cantrell) (09/17/88)
I received my gnu-emacs version 18.48 from the Apollo users group (ADUS) and was wandering if there is any easy way to generate a hard copy of the help files? They seem to all be here, in thier raw form, but it is clumsy to go through the on-line help. keith ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Keith Cantrell USMAIL: EMAIL: 2100 Sonata Ln cantrell@killer.DALLAS.TX.US Carrollton Tx 75007 Phones: hm: 214-492-1088 wk: 214-234-3340 -----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm using GNU 18.54 on a Sun 3/60 with SunOS 4.0.1. When scrolling thru a file the bottom mode line scrolls up the screen then back to the bottom. I'm gnu to emacs so don't know what variables should be set to fix this. One other user here on a Sun 3/E doesn't have this problem?

Check out the file $EMACS/etc/SUN-SUPPORT for hints on how to improve your sun termcap. This may explain your buddy's Sun's behavior. If that doesn't change anything, what you see is not a bug; it is simply the most cost-efective way (given the termcap) for emacs to scroll the screen. If you are used to the vt100's style of scrolling, realize that it is due to the "scrolling region" logic (termcap cs capability) that is missing from a lot of other terminals out there. The sun console is one such terminal. -- /jr jr@bbn.com or bbn!jr C'mon big money!
