I have been using a C-128 vt-100 emulator with Emacs for many months now, and have yet to run across _ANY_ problems. The emulator is an upgrade of the original one packaged with the 1670 modem, done by F. Bowen. I obtained it through Quantum link, and so to the best of my knowledge it is in the public domain. I don't recall having used ^S lately, but page breaks using ^Q^L go in just fine. I have never tried to tear into the code (no time, but I will one day), so I don't know just how it works with our Vax, but it does, and flawlessly! I have in no way customized my Emacs interface--it runs totally in default mode on my Sun or my C-128. File name on Q-link is vt100.128 (some sort of v2 is also possibly in the title, I can't recall. It's easy enough to find in the applications area of the Link). I hope this quells any rumors of not being able to run Emacs on a 128. For my next trick I'll try to get it to run on a vt-52 in C-64 mode, but don't hope for any miracles! :-D -Mark-
