Hi Gnu world!
I have some strange problems with my key definitions in:
"Epoch 4.2.2 of Tue Nov 17 1992 on tyger (berkeley-unix)"
My key definitions for M-h, M-DEL, M-g, M-p, M-C-r do not work (but
M-b, M-f do). This does not depend on whether I use Esc or Alt as Meta
character (both are valid).
In my .emacs file, the line:
(global-set-key "\M-h" 'help-for-help)
is executed, and the result is registered into the current global-map:
Alt-x `where-is' followed by `help-for-help' at the prompt (Alt is
bound to Meta), returns (\204 stands for an `O' with a grave accent):
help-for-help is on \204, C-h ?, C-h C-h
Also, evaluating in the minibuffer:
(lookup-key (current-global-key) "\M-h")
returns:
help-for-help
And:
(read-key-sequence "?") followed by pressing at the prompt Alt-h
returns:
"^[h"
If I execute:
Alt-x `global-set-key', then Alt-h, then help-for-help, everything
goes fine...
May I add that I use the same .emacs file (through links on top of NFS
mounts) in apollo and HP machines, where all this works...
Any clue?
