I don't understand. There are definitely serious keyboard issues (I
can't keep the region on at the same time the minibuffer is active,
which loses pretty badly), but for Return (a) the unconditional
binding in src/keymap.c and (b) the Lisp binding in lisp/keydefs.el
are as they've always been. Not to mention that RET is irrelevant in
an xterm; you only get to see the C-m.
Anyway, what I'm seeing is the opposite: CR is getting translated to
LF somehow in an xterm.
Maybe, I'm mixing things up. I seem to recall, someone said that RET
is bound to C-m in 21.5 contrary to 21.4 and prior.
If I use 21.5 in an xterm, RET too often has no effect at all, eg in
Gnus buffers. I've got to move the cursor (or do other things) to
pass the RET key-action to XEmacs, or so it seems.
