I am using an HP9000S300 series model 360 using 68030 and 68882 running hpux-6.2 (new assembler) -- Has "signal" been fixed in this revision ? Termtype 98550 OR bobcat. I am trying to run emacs-18.52, encountered the same problems with emacs-18.49 also. Have not tried any other version. Problem is as follows. When editting a file the cursor refuses to leave the top line. ^N and ^P don't do much good. ^V returns the mesage "End of buffer" even though there is a lot more text. M-X V returns "Begining of buffer". I have the same problem in M-X Info where a long Node cannot be viewed as ' ' (space) returns the end of buffer message and RUB the other message. This is true when either the whole of the editor window is used OR the window is split horizontally ( using ^X 2). The other interseting thing is that even though the cursor does not move ^N and ^P do change the value of the point as emacs knows it. ^L redraws the screen properly with the cursor at the correct place. ^F and ^B work as though the current line is on the top line of the window. The cursor goes to the begining of the top line if we ^F past the end of the current line. And the line-number is correct as emacs knows it. On input the text is added to the proper location as suggested by the value of the point (^X =). In case the screen is split vertically (using ^X 5) the cursor moves all over the screen BUT vertical (^V etc.) scrolling is not possible. Can scroll right left. I am using the s-hpux.h and m-hp9000s300.h files, and have left the config.h file alone otherwise. The problem is reproducible in or out of X-11 environment, and also using TERMCAP OR TERMINFO. I shall be glad to help reproduce problems, and/or test fixes, take suggestions etc. I would also like to added to the mailing list for getting news re: emacs and emacs.bug if possible. If this is not possible please send me the address of the person who can bundle the news on a timely basis. Thanks Jayant Kelkar. ------------------------------------------------------------------ DISCLAIMER : The usual blah, blah, blah ...
