Lansing MI Lines: 21 in article <8909121501.AA16550@cscwam.UMD.EDU>, djm@wam.UMD.EDU says: $ $ $ MicroEMACS 3.10 apparently doesn't recognize that 0x7f (Del) is an $ unprintable character, so when you run describe-key it shows a blank $ where "^?" or some other visual representation should be. $ $ And since it doesn't seem to provide any visual way to type an 0x7f, $ you can't use bind-to-key on it either. If you type a literal Del it $ backspaces, and if you type "^?" it says "[No such function]". $ unbind-key does work, however. $ -- $ David J. MacKenzie If you want a permanent change to what 0x7F does, modify ebind.h in the obvious spot and recompile. John H.
