possible bugs with key maps?

XEmacs 21.2 "Demeter" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.5) of Mon Mar 15 1999 on ahoward I can't quite tell if these two things are bugs or not. In any case, the behaviors are undesirable, at least to me. Any other opinions? 1. If I execute (define-key global-map "|" '(lambda () "Insert the string \"abc\"" (interactive) (insert "abc"))) then hitting the `|' key inserts the string "abc". The output from `M-x describe-key |' looks a bit funny, though: | runs (lambda nil Insert the string "abc" (interactive) (insert abc)) Insert the string "abc" What happened to the quotation marks " in the first line, both around the documentation string and the abc at the end? `(insert abc)' looks particularly bad to me: it's indistinguishable from the case where I do this, instead: (defconst abc "def") (define-key global-map "|" '(lambda () "Insert the value of the string variable abc" (interactive) (insert abc))) 2. The second problem is that I can't seem to define a key map in which "a" is bound but "A" is not. I initialize the keymap with (defvar my-map nil) (define-prefix-command 'my-map) (define-key my-map "a" 'self-insert-command) I check to see how "A" is bound: (lookup-key my-map "A") Then I test it: I bind backquote to my-map and see what happens. (global-set-key "`" 'my-map) Now hitting `a inserts a. Hitting `A inserts a. Hitting `b gives the message ` b is not defined. How can I get `A to act like `b? I've tried (define-key my-map "A" 'undefined) and (suppress-keymap my-map) Each of these does what I want with GNU Emacs, but not with XEmacs. Is this a bug, or am I just missing something? -- John H. Palmieri e-mail: palmieri.2(a)nd.edu 205 Computing/Math Bldg.
