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.
