I am running GNU Emacs version 18.51 on a Sun 4/260, SunOS 4.0.1. Everything works fine *except* I've never been able to get emacstool to come up with the scrollbar on the side. What am I doing wrong?

It is just an area of the screen on the right hand side (The last 4 columns, as I recall). Emacstool is a front end for GNUemacs, and allows you to specify mouse bindings to different parts of the screen. These are the mini-buffer, mode line, text area, and scrollbar area, which is just the right hand side (RHS) of the text area. The bindings on the RHS assign the mouse buttons to functions that scroll text around. You don't have to move to the RHS, because if you hold down the Meta- ( i.e. "Left" or "Right") keyboard key, and click the mouse buttons, you get the "scrollbar" action. The help key in emacstool is found by holding down Control, Shift, and one of the Meta keys, AND pressing the right mouse button. Emacstool allows you to modify the pop-up menus, execute keyboard macros at what you are pointing at, etc. Does anyone have any good GNUemacs code that makes use of this? -- Bruce G.

The cursor editor built into Emacstool has code which does some custom menu stuff. The file is ./lisp/sun-cursors.el, in the emacs directory. _sandeep -- Sandeep Mehta ...to be or not to bop ? uunet!philabs!bebop!sxm sxm@philabs.philips.com
