I've installed GNU emacs 18.56 on a RS6000/530 running AIX 3.1 (3002). It works well on the X11 environment (compiled with HAVE_X_WINDOWS, X11, HAVE_X_MENU). However, the DEL key does not function when you are not using X. It seems DEL is mapped to "ESC [ P" for some reason. Has anybody encountered the same problem? Any hint/solution will be appreciated. ...Kai ng@cfd.di.nrc.ca kain@vm.nrc.ca (613) 990-2003

I do this like this: $ aixterm -v -T foo & Then "-v" flag specifies VT100 emulation. The run emacs in the new window. ...richie -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Richie Bielak (212)-815-3072 | "The sights one sees at times makes one | | Internet: richieb@bony.com | wonder if God ever really meant for | | Bang: uunet!bony1!richieb | man to fly." -- Charles Lindbergh |

Since it's for GNU, it's presumably freely distributable, can you post this file, so those of us with only 18.56 can have working keys. Thanks. michael
