Re: RET ain't RET unless you tell RET it is RET (was: [Success] XEmacs 21.5-b12 "carrot" i386-unknown-freebsd4.8)

Here's a really ugly ugly work around, and I have no idea why it

- Fire up 'xemacs -nw'
- In scratch _before_ you do or touch anything else type:
(describe-key "\C-m") C-j
From then on RET behaves as RET. But you *must* do it *before* you go
anywhere near the return key.
I think this is a bit of a red herring. I can get RET to behave as RET
by evaluating anything at all in the *scratch* buffer when XEmacs first
starts up. That is, this is sufficient:
(+ 0 1) C-j
I'm seeing what Norbert is seeing. It is as though the first RET you
type gets stuck in a pipe somewhere, then the next keypress makes the
RET take effect, as well as processing that next keypress.
