I am having a problem with cursor keys and the X-windows emacs 18.57. I am running emacs on an IBM RT/AIX(*sigh*) and the secretary in my group is using a Macintosh(*sigh*) as an X-server using MacX. When she logs in, she gets an xterminal fine (she is in -v mode to emulate a vt100). Everything works OK. But when she brings up the emacs X-window, her arrow keys produce the following sequences (^[ is the escape): Up - ^[[163q Down - ^[[166q Left - ^[[160q Right - ^[[169q Of course, none of these do much of anything. I would like one of two solutions: 1. Someone tell me why these sequences are being produced and tell me how to fix it so that it actually produces cursor movement. 2. Someone write up a little bit of elisp to put in her .emacs that maps these sequences to the appropriate action. I don't know any lisp, let alone enough elisp, to do this on my own. Reply by e-mail please. Thanks in advance. pr -- Pete Resnick (...so what is a mojo, and why would one be rising?)
