/* Written 2:54 am Jul 14, 1988 by rsm@amethyst.ma.arizona.edu in m.cs.uiuc.edu:comp.emacs */ /* ---------- "Recommendations for terminal with M" ---------- */ I plan on buying a new terminal for personal use. Since I use Emacs a good bit, a Meta key is high on my list of requirements. An escape key, even a reasonably placed one, is a poor substitute. [...] Are the last three really the only choices I have? Does anyone have any other recommendations? /* End of text from m.cs.uiuc.edu:comp.emacs */ The Televideo 825, 950, 970, .... have a meta key, labelled `FUNCT.' It generates a three-character sequence, ^A-key-^M, but sufficiently intelligent software can cope (and use timings to distinguish the Meta key from the user's hitting a ^A). I've done it once before, but left my code behind when I left the company that I was working for. Kevin
