[comp.emacs] GNU emacs on AT&T DMD and 630 terminals

jgy@hropus.UUCP (John Young) (02/26/88)

Does anyone have GNU emacs (I have 18.47) running on the 630
terminal using any of it's "special" features i.e. font's,
mouse support, terminal windows..... etc??

Thanks.

I don't know the 630 but assume its a successor of the 5620. We have a terminal
emulator and corresponding emacs lisp to support mouse editing on the 5620. The
software allows you to position point and mark, copy, move or delete text (even
selections across window boundaries) using only  mouse buttons; the destination
of  text copied  or moved may  lie in  a  different  window. Further operations
performed with just clicking mouse buttons are scrolling, creating, deleting or
resizing windows and searching selected text.  Its much more  powerful than the
hack that is distributed for supporting the mouse on suns.
