[gnu.emacs] How to send real ESC character

chien@iitmax.IIT.EDU (Greg Chien) (11/17/89)

I need to send the non-printable ESC character from gnu lisp to
ascii terminals, but the interpreter always translate "\e" into
printable "^[".  Is there any way to bypass it?

Thanks in advance,

Check out (send-string-to-terminal). Something like

	(send-string-to-terminal "\e[7m")

should put a vt100 compatible in standout mode. It works for me anyway.
