I have a few questions about loading up the proper term file when
emacs starts up under X windows. I looked in the FAQ posting, under
the question of what emacs does when starting up, and figured out that
normally it will load the term/x-win.el file when running under
x-windows. The problem with that (on my system, at least) is that it
does not load up the term file that sets up the key-bindings for the
arrow and function keys on the keyboard (I am using an RS6000) --
which is in the term/aixterm.el file. Now what I thought to do was to
put something like the following at the end of the term/x-win.el file:
(if (string-equal (getenv "TERM") "aixterm")
(load (concat term-file-prefix (getenv "TERM"))))
So my questions are -- will this do what I want it to do? is there a
better way? is this not a safe thing to do -- i.e. am I overlooking
some problems this will lead to?
Thanks for any help.
