Here are two elementary questions: [1] Does this group have a "frequently asked questions" list? Is it ftpable from anywhere? [2] Is there a *standard* way around the ^s/^q problem on systems that use that barbaric hardware flow control? When I arrived here the systems did not even *have* emacs. I installed it (we are running Berkeley 4.3 UNIX soon to be upgraded to "reno") and some kind of terminal concentrator we run through eats ^s/^q. I would like to find some standard solution to this problem, e.g., I would like to make available a new keyboard mapping for everyone here (so we don't all make ad-hoc changes) and would prefer some kind of standard mapping. Another modem concentrator we are using also eats ^y -- but that's probably unusual! I know that [2] is probably on [1] (if it exists), so please excuse me for taking up bandwidth!

Try this: (setq keyboard-translate-table (make-string 128 0)) (let ((i 0)) (while (< i 128) (aset keyboard-translate-table i i) (setq i (1+ i)))) (aset keyboard-translate-table ?\^^ ?\^q) (aset keyboard-translate-table ?\^\\ ?\^s) And if your terminal sends C-s and C-q instead of just trapping them, include this: (set-input-mode nil t) -- He is Bob...eager for fun. | Tom Weinstein tom@bears.ucsb.edu He wears a smile...
