Dear emacs jocks,
We are using emacs exclusively for Lisp programming in my artificial
class. Is there a way to redefine the escape sequence for emacs. In our
department, we have many DEC-VT 220 and VT-320 terminals, which not
not have an escape key--we must use the awkward "c-[" sequence.
Also, do you have any suggestions for mapping the VT terminals' up,
down, left, and right keys so that they will work reliably--using them
sometimes adds characters to the buffer ("OA" "OB"). (On the other
hand, I'm using an IBM PC keyboard, with kermit VT-100 emulation, and
everything works just fine.)
We appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer.
Thanks,

PS. Emacs is a wonderful tool. I'd be lost without it. I use emacs for
e-mail--it is much better than UNIX mail, and besides I can't stand
vi!
