[comp.emacs] uEMACS 3.10 and META key on SUN workstation.

hsw@TYCHO.NCSC.MIL (Howard Weiss) (09/16/89)

I've just gotten a copy of uEMACS 3.10 and I've compiled it on my SUN 3/60
running SUN OS/4.0.3.  It compiles fine and comes right up.  The only problem
is that I can't get it to recognize the ESC key as META.  The definitions in
tcap.c define ESC as 0x1B and ESC should be recognized as META - but nothing
happens when you hit ESC.  Actually, as an example, in a search string which
needs to be terminated with META, the string does not terminate and hitting
control G to abort does nothing for a few repeat hits of control G.

Has anyone seen this behavior before?
