Keywords: mg2a escape Message-ID: <608@lehi3b15.csee.Lehigh.EDU> Date: 12 Aug 89 04:37:26 GMT Organization: CSEE Dept. Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA Lines: 11 Someone had posted a complaint about auto-fill (I believe) not working on micro emacs, and I responded by email that it did work on mg2a. That person wrote back saying that he didn't use mg2a because he needed to use characters with ASCII codes greater than 127 which caused problems with mg2a interpreting them as escaped characters. Since then, I lost his net address, so I am posting... There is a symbol which you #define when compiling mg2a which causes the ALT key to be interpreted as an ESC (actually 'meta'). You may be able to use the full character set if you recompile without this #define - I don't know (I had trouble compiling it with Lattice 5.02 so I didn't test this).
