      Does anyone know why DEC on VT200 and 300 terminals
    mapped the ESC key to CTRL-3 and CTRL-3 to the ESC key?
      I use the EMACS editor, which is a very popular editor
    for mainframe computers, and it requires the use of the
    ESC key. It's rather annoying to have to hit CTRL-3 for 
    the ESC key, particularly when there's no logical reason
    why it should be that way.
      I could map the ESC key back to itself but I use other
    terminals such as vt100 and AMIGAS, PC'S, and MACINTOSHES
    and it would be a major pain to have to map or de-map
    the key depending on what term I'm using everytime I
    log on.
      What's the deal here?
