Here's my problem. I've just begun using microEMACS 3.7 on a vt320 terminal. The environment is BSD 4.3 for what it's worth. I'm having trouble getting any key mapped as <esc> - all of the functions and application-keypad keys give [aborted] or [key not bound]. So to get a toe-hold I need to set up a key-binding for <esc> (<ctrl> is the only special key that works). Any ideas ? - if so please e-mail them. Thanks.

Well, I just know MicroEmacs 3.9 and vt220 - not the same, but similar, I think. MicroEmacs can process only escape sequences with one character after the ESC, or with one character after ESC [ (so is my experience). The latter are sent by the cursor keys of the mini keypad (ESC[A, ESC[B, etc.). All other function keys send sequences like ESC[~blablabla and worse :-) , with more than one character after ESC[ . On the vt220s that I know (original DEC) there is no *real* ESC key, only one labeled ESC (F11 or one of these), but it sends ESC[~blablabla. The only ways to get a *real* *only* ESC character are 1.) to press CTRL-3 (german keyboard, may be different on others) and 2.) press CTRL-[ (*not* possible on german keyboard :-( ). It looks like Dec hasn't designed the vt?20s for use with MicroEmacs. (EVE/TPU on VMS is great... and in two or so weeks I'll get a REAL (GNU) Emacs! But MicroEmacs *is* good - I had the same 3.9 on Apollo SR 10.2, SunOS 4.0.3, MSDOS 3.3, Nixdorf SysV3.2, and VMS 5.3!)

This System has no vi, and Siemens' editor CED IS NOT THE ONE I WOULD PREFER TO MICROEMACS. -- ----------------- Juergen Nickelsen nickelsen@mikroperipherik.e-technik.tu-berlin.dbp.de
