Dear emacs jocks,

We are using emacs exclusively for Lisp programming in my artificial
class.  Is there a way to redefine the escape sequence for emacs.  In our
department, we have many DEC-VT 220 and VT-320 terminals, which not
not have an escape key--we must use the awkward "c-[" sequence.

Also, do you have any suggestions for mapping the VT terminals' up,
down, left, and right keys so that they will work reliably--using them
sometimes adds characters to the buffer ("OA" "OB").  (On the other
hand, I'm using an IBM PC keyboard, with kermit VT-100 emulation, and
everything works just fine.) 

We appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer.

Thanks,

Dr. Larry M. Stephens

PS.  Emacs is a wonderful tool.  I'd be lost without it.  I use emacs for
e-mail--it is much better than UNIX mail, and besides I can't stand
vi!
