You can specify an arbitrary pair of characters instead of xon and xoff for flow control. If you are fortunate enough to have a terminal like the Ann Arbor Ambassador, you can even change it's flow control characters, and if you are running on UNIX you can tell UNIX about your new flow control characters. If you had a terminal that would let you turn xon/xoff flow control on and off via an escape sequence, then you could modify EMACS to turn flow control off when it starts up, and turn it back on when you finish. Your only problem would be to get a termcap entry with enough padding. There is also EIA flow control, but that requires smart MUX boards and more wires in your terminal cables. I unfortunately have a vt102 which can't do anything that I want in this regard and have to use VMS systems which can't remap any character functions. -- ---------------- Marty Sasaki net: sasaki@harvard.{arpa,uucp} Havard University Science Center phone: 617-495-1270 One Oxford Street Cambridge, MA 02138
