Re: XEmacs 21 /vs./ my keyboard: I want my DEL back

One thing that I really like about XEmacs is that in the 18 months or so I've been following xemacs-beta a pretty good balance (YMMV) has been struck between "progress" and compatibility with "quasi-religious beliefs". Glynn> `Old timers' tend to have a quasi-religious belief that Glynn> \010 is Backspace and \177 is Delete. This is unfair to many of the `old timers', unless you include in "quasi-religious belief" "large and cobwebby .emacs and .Xdefaults that you need a map to navigate". OK, such files are non-portable, but that's precisely what those files are for (in an abstract sense). -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ What are those two straight lines for?
