Lines: 13 I have been having troubles with CCA-Emacs when I use Kermit. Although the H19 termcap entry does a fine job, I have an Alt key that sets the eighth bit for each char ( after I rebind everything locally ). My problem is that the H19 description somehow disables EMACS recognition of true Meta chars. If I invoke ann-arbor amassador as my terminal type, eigth bits are recognized both from an actual ambassador OR from the PC running Kermit. AAAREADME and DOC give no clues as to why EMACS is ignoring the eigth bit for certain terminal types. The same bad behavior is exhibited if I tell EMACS I am a VT52 or a VT100. Any suggestions?
