Message-ID: <696@adobe.UUCP> Date: Fri, 27-Sep-85 02:52:41 EDT Article-I.D.: adobe.696 Posted: Fri Sep 27 02:52:41 1985 Date-Received: Tue, 1-Oct-85 08:47:36 EDT Reply-To: greid@adobe.UUCP (Glenn Reid) Organization: Adobe Systems, Palo Alto Lines: 15 How does emacs (Gosling) handle insertion of text? It doesn't seem to take advantage of my terminal's ability to do character-insert, instead insisting on "repainting" the entire line from the cursor to EOL, which takes bloody forever at 1200 baud. Since text-insert mode is sort of the default condition with emacs, I'd think it would be able to handle this. I haven't been able to get it to believe my TERMCAP that my terminal has character insert, though. Any ideas? Thanks. Glenn Reid ..decwrl!adobe!greid
