Before installing GNU Emacs 18.31.0, I am trying -- without success --
to figure out how to redefine what the function keys give me and to
map the arrow keys (on a VT1?? or VT2??) to the proper things.
In version 17 I changed term/vt100.el to bind different function to
the keypad keys. Now I am not sure what to do. I think I understand
that version 18's method is somehow better and that perhaps it will
even allow people to do their own mapping in the .emacs file (this
used to be undone in 17.* which looked at terms/*.el after processing
.emacs) but I cannot figure out how to make these modifications. If
you've done this please mail me an example. (I already know -- I
think -- how to undo the ^Q/^S junk and I do have to live with
terminals that do that .... but if you've done that for 18.31.0, send
that also.
I used to do this in vt100.el:
:
(define-key SS3-map "A" 'previous-line) ;; up arrow
(define-key SS3-map "B" 'next-line) ;; down-arrow
(define-key SS3-map "C" 'forward-char) ;; right-arrow

Thanks.
