The problem with meta keys not working over rlogin is that the rlogin only passes seven bits per character, thus losing the meta bit. I have a fix for this. It is a little filter that translates the key stroke meta-x to the pair of keys ESC-x for all x. I use it as a filter whenever I'm using telnet or rlogin, and the behavior of the meta keys is correct if I'm using an emacs-like tool on the remote machine. (I'm using it this instant, as a matter of fact.) If you're interested in this, send me mail. If there is sufficient interest, I'll post it to mod.sources, otherwise I'll respond to the mail requests individually. Tim Freeman Arpanet: tsf@theory.cs.cmu.edu
