When I'm using emacs on my VT220, I can keep keys like C-f pressed down and the command will repeat i.e. the cursor will keep moving forward one character at a time until I let go. This doesn't work on my VT100 however. Does anyone know why and/or how I can fix it? We're running version 18.41 under ULTRIX. Thanks in advance. Lauri Szklut MITRE Corporation Bedford, MA

In my .login are the lines: setkeys nosunview setkeys noarrow but commenting them out seems to disable the keypad functions altogether, as would be expected. I cannot manage to determine how to get the arrow keys to repeat, and I would appreciate any suggestions. We are running on Sun 3/50s.

Auto-repeat is strictly a local terminal function. Some terminals never do it, some have a separate key to do it (they are not "auto-" repeaters at all, I guess). Terminals that do it by key-lean may do it only for the printing characters, or for all characters, or whatever. At any rate, you'll have to consult your terminal manual, or terminal simulator software manual. This has nothing whatever to do with emacs, except that in some cases emacs may be able to enable or disable the feature through initialization sequences. /jr jr@bbn.com or jr@bbnccv.uucp Without life, there wouldn't be chemical companies.
