hello.
I am a long time user of vi under various versions of Unix.
For a number of very good reasons, I have found it advisable to
learn and use emacs. I have a 386 based clone, on which I have
installed an older local archive of Freemacs. I must often dial
into a large machine running Ultrix, and would like to avail myself
of the GNU emacs there, and I would dearly wish to use the same
key bindings in both environments. To this end, I need the following.
1. Advice, comments, tips, lore, rumors, gripes, & gotchas.
This must be a common problem, with many solutions.
2. A terminal emulator or comm package that allows the full use
of an AT style extended keyboard.
I am presently using Procomm, which uses the <ALT> key.
I have kermit 2.25 but haven't used it much.
A settings list of key bindings for kermit would be great.
otherwise, any other solution is quite welcome.
3. A fairly complete termcap/terminfo descriptor
for an AT with an extended keyboard.
4. All the mint code I can beg, borrow, or (figuratively) steal.
There are a number of functions I would like for
Freemacs. Rather than try to list them, I thought I'd
just make a general plea and catalog the results, if any.
I imagine my needs are not unique. If there is interest,
I can post the collection.
If it would help to close your eyes and picture me sniveling
and groveling, by all means, do so. Follow-ups to me only please. TIA

Freemacs 1.6a will be released by the end of this month. It has much better
GNU Emacs compatability, quite possibly a number of the functions Lee
refrained from listing. As always, I implement requested functions first,
so send your cards and letters to me.
Freemacs 1.6a still restricts file size to <64K.
