In GNU Emacs 18.55.7 of Tue Jul 31 1990 on ittc (berkeley-unix)
Hello,
The variable in the subject line doesn't seem to be working when I
am running an X version of emacs although it works just fine when I run
under a std terminal. I have the following function which works great on a
regular terminal i.e. xterm on another machine yet when I run Xemacs it
doesn't seem to work properly.
P.S. The function is a gross disgusting hack (I know) but it does
what I want.
(defun sccs-y-or-n-p (arg)
(let ((cursor-in-echo-area t)
(ans)
(res))
(message (concat arg " (y or n) "))
(while (not (memq ans '(?\177 ? ?n ?N ?Y ?y)))
(setq ans (read-char))
(setq res
(if (memq ans '(?\177 ?n))
nil
(if (= ?N ans)
(progn
(sccs-off)
nil)
(if (memq ans '(? ?y ?Y))
t)))))
res))
