You can run in CBREAK mode with the kernel handling flow control. Issue (set-input-mode nil t) from your .emacs. This leads to the problem above that you have to bind other keys to isearch-forward and quoted-insert. Traditional nominees are C-^ and C-\. There is a further problem, however; the interactive key set inside isearch includes ^S and there is no convenient way to change this (yet). I am surprised that such a normally astute emacs hacker would overlook the following feature: M-x describe-variable RET search-repeat-char RET search-repeat-char's value is 19 Documentation: Character to repeat incremental search forwards. In fact, all the special search characters are parameterizable. I would also argue that the isearch-forward and isearch-backward might ought to bind these variables to whatever function key that invoked the search under certain conditions, say that it was a control char. /jr jr@bbn.com or jr@bbn.uucp (Root Boy) Jim Cottrell National Bureau of Standards Flamer's Hotline: (301) 975-5688 Boys, you have ALL been selected to LEAVE th' PLANET in 15 minutes!!
