In article <14666@ut-emx.UUCP> jay@ut-emx.UUCP (Jay Boisseau) discovers that his terminal emulator doesn't understand ctrl-@. There really isn't a standard for keyboard->control character processing. You might try ctrl-space (this works on my emulator because I wrote it myself). One problem is that ctrl-@ and/or ctrl-space are probably sending the <NUL> (000) character, which is often eaten by intervening hardware/softare. If you use Emacs, you might find binding set-mark to a function key offers a longterm solution. Martin Minow minow%thundr.dec@decwrl.dec.com
