Well. I got such good response to my last question (thanks everybody!) that I decided to throw a few more onto this hapless mailing list. 1. DEC, in its infinate wisdom, decided to put a "hold screen" key where everyone else would like an ESC on its Vaxstation 2000... I.E. The key toggles between sending ^S & ^Q characters. This appears to be hardwired into the keyboard. On the ordinary Vaxstation II, it's a function key that you can redefine to be ESC under X or your favorite window package. No such luck here. Help. This is driving me crazy. I even went so far as to redefine ^S and ^Q (unshifted/meta'd) as ESC, but having to do I-searches in emacs with ctrl-shift-s or whatever was worse (this was under X). I'm open to hardware mods, whatever..
