I want to adapt GNU emacs for hebrew editing. However, I have a problem. I don't want to change the C source of emacs, and emacs-lisp does not seem to have a way of using new terminal capabilities. (The terminals that we use have at least two more capabilities: switch to hebrew and switch to right-to-left) The other way would be of course, to write the escape sequence. Again, I cannot figure out a way of writing an escape sequence directly to the terminal (even if I run a shell program, the output will go to a buffer). That was the first problem. The second one is how can I write characters that have the eighth bit on without getting something like \514 on the screen. If someone can help me , maybe we can internationalize emacs and beat vih (vi for hebrew) Sergio Fogel Computer Science Dept. Technion.
