My terminal is an AT&T PC6300 (IBM-compatible) using an AT&T 4410 terminal emulator. While this may not yet be a common configuration, I believe the same problem has come up using an hp2621 emulator or a real live vt100. The problem is that, when I press an arrow key, it isn't transmitted/read by emacs (one or the other) correctly. The 4410 terminal description that I'm using defines up=M-[A (it appears as ^[[A, with the initial ^[ as one character). Pressting cntrl-Q up_arrow while in emacs shows me the same thing. On the vt100 the same thing happens but the terminal file says up=M-A (it appears as ^[A). I've tried every other imaginable up= but get the same results. I've also been unsuccessful writing a macro that understands what my keyboard is saying. Any ideas on how I can get the arrow keys to do somethingt? Anything? Thanks in advance. --Bruce Burger AT&T-Information Systems Freehold, NJ {...ihnp4!}hogpc!btb (201) 577-5230
