When I open up Gnu Emacs on a DECstation 3100 (with DECwindows), the X window pops up ok with a window manager title bar on the top, resizes ok, and is otherwise perfectly normal. However, in dxterm, I have keys remapped so I have an escape key (only DEC would come out with a UNIX only machine, and not have an escape key :-) and <> in the right places. However, this gets saved as a dxterm resource, and is not general enough so that emacs sees this remapping. I am unfamiliar with remapping keys, etc. in X so any hints would be appreciated. (PS: anyone know how to save file sorting order in dxue? It doesn't save, and setting sort_ascending in .ue_profile doesn't do it) Darin Johnson (leadsv!laic!darin@pyramid.pyramid.com) Can you "Spot the Looney"?

This seems to be a common problem so I'll post the answer. add this line to your .X11Startup file: xmodmap -e "keycode 0xb1 = Meta_L" -e "keysym period = period greater" -e "keysym comma = comma less" & (All on one line.) This makes the compose key act like a meta key for emacs and puts < and > on the , and . keys. Also, key F11 is already escape if you ever find yourself using an unfixed keyboard. -paul asente asente@decwrl.dec.com decwrl!asente
