Frankly, I'm mystified by the syntax in the .emacsrc and *.cmd files.
I would like to bind the arrow keys on my 3B1 to the emacs cursor
motion keys, but I don't have the foggiest. I'd also like to be able to
set certain modes as the default.
Is there a place I can look or would some kind soul please give me a
brief explanation? Thanks.

The .emacsrc and the *.cmd files use the same language, but the rc file is executed automatically at startup time. Changing default modes is fairly simple by adding set-global-mode commands (such as the one in the .rc file that sets the backround color to BLUE on color terminals). As to binding of function keys, if they are VT100 compatable, recompiling with the VT100 symbol in estruct.h set will allow them to be bound, but we are working on restructuring the input layers to make this more generic.

I have a doc file that talks about writing macros but is short on examples. As I;m not familiar with the individual commands for the .cmd files, I'm naturally having trouble with macros, too. -- Peter Holsberg UUCP: {rutgers!}princeton!mccc!pjh Technology Division CompuServe: 70240,334 Mercer College GEnie: PJHOLSBERG Trenton, NJ 08690 Voice: 1-609-586-4800
