Moved to XEmacs Beta. Thanks for the reply, Happy New Year, the weather is drizzly and cold, wish I were there. ;-) Ben> hmm, the different argument to character_to_event() affects Ben> the processing of meta on tty's, i think, and makes it Ben> conform to the tty setting. but i'll have to look at the Ben> patch to see exactly, OK. Here's the actual patch you sent. (The call is still character_to_event (x, y, z, 1, 1) in 21.5 CVS, BTW.) The context of the call is that c = event_to_character (XEVENT, 0, 0, 0), then traduit = Fgethash (make_char(c), Vkeyboard_translate_table, Qnil). So I guess the idea is that since c and ev2 are synthesized, we don't care what the console is, and so we shouldn't care about meta processing on it. Thus it is right to turn use_console_meta_flag off?
