Is there a way to get uEmacs 3.8b to respond to arrow keys as specified in one's terminfo driver? Presumably uEmacs uses terminfo's stuff for some things. How about recognizing arrow keys also? -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mark Steven Jeghers: the terrorist smuggling CIA weapons to Libya | | | | {ihnp4,cbosgd,lll-lcc,lll-crg}|{dual,ptsfa}!cogent!mark | | | | Standard Disclaimer: Contents may have settled during shipment. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

When the program starts up, it checks the up-arrow definition in termcap KU and will turn on this ANSI mode if the key is \033[A or \033OA for a VT100 in alternate mode. PF1-PF4 is supported along with page up/down, scroll up/down if your terminal has such keys that send ANSI sequences. We use primarily Convergent Technologies PT terminals connected to a Burroughs XE-550. These terminals support ANSI codes, have ten function keys and a number of named function keys such as Move, Copy, Help, etc. I e-mailed a note to the author, Dan Lawrence letting him know I have made these modifications and have yet to get a reply. I'm sure these mods would be helpful to many although it probably would be better to not get too terminal specific for the general emacs distribution. If there is sufficient interest I could post/mail diffs. -Bill ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Name: William D. Burton US Mail: P.O.
