Sure, F1 works. But I don't really want to globally use ^H for erase. Why can't I rebind the damn key in XEmacs? -- Cheers =8-} Chipsy Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla

Re: Missing hm--html-menus package 25 years

Sean: I'm not sure what the basis of your problem is. I've Cc'd the beta list on this message, and someone there might have a solution.

And it actually seems to work. Unfortunately there is no CONSOLE_NO_LONGER_HAS_METHOD(...) macro to go with it. :) -Bill P.

Re: Building xemacs-packages from the top. Possible? 25 years

Mats Lidell

>>>>> Jan wrote: Jan> You are supposed to be able to just type "make" in the toplevel directory. OK. Maybe it is the fact that I haven't build xemacs with mule support that is the problem.

Is it ok to call CONSOLE_HAS_METHOD() after initialization? 25 years

William M. Perry

If we want to make the GPM code into a module, we'd have to move the following code out of frame-tty.c, and into gpmevent.c #ifdef HAVE_GPM CONSOLE_HAS_METHOD (tty, get_mouse_position); CONSOLE_HAS_METHOD (tty, set_mouse_position); #endif Also, I don't see a clean way to do this from device-tty.c: This is from tty_asynch_device_change(): #ifdef HAVE_GPM /* We need to tell GPM how big our screen is now ** I am pretty sure the GPM library will get incredibly confused ** if you try to connect to more than one mouse-capable device, ** so I don't think it will cause any more damage in that case. */ gpm_mx = width; gpm_my = height; #endif -bp
