In a previous posting I gave the two commands I use to enable ^S/^Q to be
used for in-band flow control, like many terminals require, and swap them
around with ^\/^^, which are mostly unused on any Emacs.

Unfortunately I posted a part of my *bytecompiled* $HOME/.emacs file; this
means that it contained unquoted control chars, that I patched up badly.

Here is the *real* source:

--------------------------------------cut here--------------------------------
;;; Flow controlled terminals

;; We want to have flow controlled terminals.
;; They use ^S-^Q, pace R. Stallman, so we must
;; redefine things: two easy pieces.

;; Redefine ^Q and ^S as ^^ and ^\ ... (and viceversa, incidentally)
(setq keyboard-translate-table
  "\C-@\C-a\C-b\C-c\C-d\C-e\C-f\C-g\C-h\C-i\C-j\C-k\C-l\C-m\C-n\C-o\C-p\C-^\C-r\C-\\\C-t\C-u\C-v\C-w\C-x\C-y\C-z\C-[\C-s\C-]\C-q"
)

;; ... and disable interrupt input, enable cbreak and flow control
(set-input-mode nil t)
------------------------------end of elisp-------------------------------------

Put these lines either in your $HOME/.emacs file or in the system wide
defaults.el file.
