We have someone here who is having problems with the function keys
within an emacstool. Periodically, but randomnly, after input has been
focused on another window, returning to the emacstool and pressing a
function key seems to result in the `*' of the key sequence being ignored:
eg; hit R13
key sequence: C-x * m r
effective action: C-x m r
(mail, insert `r' in the buffer)
There are other wierd effects too, apparently related. It doesn't
matter if you wait before typing, and it is very spasmodic. I gleaned
this info using C-h l to list the last characters Emacs thinks it
received, but don't know where to go from here. Any ideas ?
with thanks,
Paul
