Greetings. I am trying to write an emulator for vi in gnu-emacs (don't even ask!) At any rate, I've got everything I need *except* the functionality of the escape key. For some reason, I can't figure out how to rebind esc. I've tried the following: define-key in the command mode keymap, global-set-key, global-unset-key followed by global-set, and changing the function definition of "ESC-prefix" (I think that was all, who can remember?) None of these worked. (Oh yes, I also tried variously using "\e" vs. the 'real' escape char.) Suggestions would be appreciated. princeton!mind!mab (Marie Bienkowski)
