I define a lot of the special function keys on my terminal to be various things, like cursor keys to scroll, and the equal sign to be a non-shifted go-to-end-of-line. It's great, but I'm always getting completely irrelevant bells. Not always, but roughly 50% of all macro operations generate a bell. The bells occur with operations on short lines as well as long, and with noerrorbells set or cleared. It's a puzzle. ihnp4!ttrdd!mellman
