In order to get the function-keys to work on my atari under emacs, I have been experimenting with setting up a vt52.el file so that keypad.el would run. This may not be the easiest solution, but it is standard to the way emacs handles terminal specific things. I managed to get the file together, but I can't emacs to load it automatically. The problem appear to be that (getenv "TERM") always returns "vt52-emulator", REGARDLESS of the real value of TERM. I have tried this, both with environ.prg and under gulam, but no matter what TERM is set to, (getenv "TERM") still returns "vt52-emulator". All the other environment variables works fine however. Why is this? My suspicion is that it has something to do with a termcap hack. My version (which I think comes from atari.archive, at least the st hacks bears Bammi's name) doesn't need the termcap, so perhaps something has been hardcoded into my emacs.

This I don't quite see your problem. I use emacs 18.55 for ST by E. Roeder that came in comp.binaries.atari.st (the second distribution I think). It includes the file atari.el that makes keypad.el work for the ST. It simply maps a lot of key sequences of the type ESC # <some ascii> to the sequences used by keypad. I think the conversion from raw keycodes to ESC # <?> is done by emacs itself (?). It simply works! atari.el and keypad.el are loaded by the init-file for temacs that came with the distribution. I'm sure about that, because when I made xemacs I didn't know anything of keypad.el or atari.el ... BTW: mouse-support works too.
