Hi! This is my first posting to info-gnu-emacs, so I hope I'm playing in the right ball-game. I've recently ported 18.55 GNU Emacs to a Tandem S2 (fault tolerant UNIX platform based on the MIPS R2000 chip). With some minor touch-ups, the port went well. However, I have a perplexing problem with doing certain keybindings via the .emacs file. Here's what I currently have in my .emacs file(this is a test case): ; This binding works! (global-set-key "\eOT" 'forward-char) ; This next one doesn't work (global-set-key "\eOt" 'backward-char) When emacs starts up the first binding is there; I checked using the help function 'B' option to let you see the bindings. But the SECOND one is not there! While in emacs, if I Meta-Meta to eval mode and enter in manually, it works! This is but a simple test case, but I've had others look at it and we cannot see any reason for this "selective" binding problem. Any clues? I guess if no one has an idea I will have to follow the sage advice of obewon kenobe: "Use the SOURCE, Luke!" Dennis Govoni Tandem Computers P.S. I don't get any startup errors, either.
