sir,

i understand if you cannot write me back - everyone is busy these
days...

i am under ultrix v4.2a (rev. 47) on either an hp3100 or an hp5000.  i
have defined these keystrokes in a "load-file" that is loaded by
.emacs:

 ( global-set-key "\eOy" '"\exuniversal-argument\n1\exscroll-down" )
 ( global-set-key "\eOs" '"\exuniversal-argument\n1\exscroll-up" )

for a while it works and does what i want - gives me a one line
scrolldown.  when i do a ^hk<keypad9> ( on a vt220 ) it writes:

"xuniversal-argument
1xscroll-down":
Keyboard macro.

but if i quickly go up and down the file it just stops working ( the
other keys work fine ) and the ^hk says:

#<EMACS BUG: INVALID DATATYPE (#o37777777603) Save your buffers immediately and please report this bug>:

i don't know lisp, what am i doing wrong?

thanks so much,
richard ( 'rsimmons@[128.198.2.209]' )
