I presently work on a DECstation 5000/200 running Ultrix 4.2a using
Epoch verison 3.2.4 and GNU emacs version 18.55.1.  I have been
trying to do two things:

1) bind the DEC function keys to emacs/epoch commands

2) and bind the function keys to a macro that I create

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with these.  Can I keep a macro from session to session?  Can I bind it to the function keys? 

Either some example code (from .emacs file) or a pointer to a source that would have this information would be helpful.

Thanks for any help.

later,
dan

First do

  (setq epoch::function-key-mapping nil)

to turn off ESC mapping for function keys.  Then use

(rebind-key "keysym" 'modifier "macro")

where keysym can be discovered by

  M-! xmodmap -pk

(or via the X command "xev" to check the actual keysyms)

and modifiers by (where 0 = no modifier)

  M-! xmodmap -pm

For example,

  (rebind-key "BackSpace" 0 "\C-?")

to make backspace do delete-backward-char, or

  (rebind-key "Return" 'shift "\C-x\C-e")

to make S-RET do eval-last-sexp.

For more info, look in the file etc/EPOCH-FAQ.  I will be posting a
new version of this soon.

I have put together some elisp that binds every function key on the
keyboard to something (although most keys produce ignore-key).  This
is a really brute-force approach, but it allows you to add a
keybinding by simply inserting the name of the function you want to
call where that particular key is bound.

The files are called 'rebind-dec-keys.el' and 'dec.el' (for
Decstation) or 'rebind-sun-keys.el' and 'sun.el' (for Sun4 keyboards).
The xxx.el files call functions defined in ditties.el

These files can be obtained via anonymous ftp from csis.dit.csiro.au
in the directory /pub/elisp
