I believe that Emacs will interpret the parity bit as the meta bit, but that doesn't explain the following bizarre behavoir we are getting. With the terminal in no parity mode, typing any character that would have even parity causes emacs to exit. With the terminal in odd parity mode, odd parity characters would properly and even parity characters cause emacs to prompt: do you really want to exit, some buffers have been changed. Last datum: when I "stty raw", the same characters that exit emacs cause me the system to log me out. Does anyone have any good ideas? (I am using a Concept-100 through a VA3451 modem, two stops bits on both, if that matters. Emacs seems to work fine with a Gigi and with an HP2645 not connected by modem!) -Mark Sherman (Mark.Sherman@CMU-CS-A, decvax!dartvax!mss, 603-646-2415)
