I'm running uw 3.4a using the v3 server on a BSD4.3 UNIX machine.
When I use emacs on the UNIX machine, I use the "custom" keyboard map
with the option key used for meta-prefixing. (Hold down option and
"d", get ESC-d.) This is very handy for emacs escape-prefixed
commands (by the way, it's Gosling emacs). Here is my problem:
When I program in FORTRAN (okay, okay, I admit I program in FORTRAN),
I telnet over to the local VMS system and use microEMACS 3.7 to
edit files. (I have altered the sources to microEMACS to drive an
adm31; it's nice.) When I attempt to use the escape prefix option
key in the VMS window, it's no good. Hold down option-d; I just get
a "d".
Apparently, the adm31 emulator in uw is using something like
the "\E=" sequence used by dec terminals to turn on the application
keypad, or whatever the adm31 equivalent is. And apparently, Gosling
emacs knows what it is. My question: What is it? It appears to me
that if I can get microEMACS to send the right commands to the uw window
it will go into "application" mode and then option-prefix-meta will work.
If anyone knows the magic character sequence for the adm31, I would
be most grateful if he/she would impart this knowledge to me somehow.
