Ahem... I'm sorry, but I still can't get emacs to work, though it 
compiled successfully this time. 

To prevent the tar-bug, I removed all the files in the original 
distribution which get replaced by the files of apollo-emacs.tar,
before unpacking apollo-emacs.tar. 

I still have the problem, that none of the apollo-keys (left keypad-
block, mouse-keys etc.) works. The only apollo-specific keybindings 
that work are the keys referred to as 'first class of key bindings' 
in the file APOLLO.README, e.g. ESC, TAB BACKSPACE, DELETE, RETURN 
and RIGHT BOX ARROW. 

For example: 

   C-h c <RIGHT_BOX_ARROW>-x tells 'ESC x runs the command exec...'

This seems to be ok.

BUT the keys described as 'second class of key bindings' behave
quite strange.

For example: 

   C-h c <CURSOR DOWN> makes a flashing line in the minibuffer 
   saying 'C-s runs the command isearch-forward' and after that
   it includes the letters 'HQ' in the text.


I don't think that we're using any exotic key-bindings for the dm
or the (share mode) X-Server. Apollo-gnuemacs 18.54 worked nearly 
perfect in the same environment. 

Somehow the bindings in apollo.el don't get into effect. 
To test this, I typed:

   ESC ESC (bind-apollo-function-key "DOWN_ARROW" "\C-n")

Output:
   "^N"

But pressing the DOWN-ARROW-key after that still makes emacs 
I-searching for 'HQ'.

Again: Does anybody have any idea how to fix this, or do I just 
       have to RTFM ?

Thanks in advance
