Xref: mnetor comp.sources.d:897 comp.emacs:1257 It occurs to me that if EMACS uses ^S (a character universally accepted to mean STOP SENDING ME CHARACTERS!) as a command, then perhaps EMACS is just ever so slightly brain damaged. Why shouldn't the terminal (or the user for that matter) send ^S if it wants to? What do you think the NO-SCROLL key does? Yes - I have heard of hardware handshaking. I've also seen far too many combinations of pins for my liking. Besides, hardware handshake over a modem line is not the best. Why did EMACS choose to redefine ^S anyway? -- Dave Horsfall (VK2KFU) TEL: +61 2 438-3544 FAX: +61 2 439-7036 NEC Information Systems Aust.
