While we're on the subject of GNU Emacs...

Thanks for the files, I had it already worked out because news latency
is a bit too long for my itchy fingers :-)

A little hint to GNU Emacs users: add the :km: attribute in to the
`minix' definitions in the /etc/termcap file, to be able to use
`Alternate' as a Meta-key.

Control, which comes in VEEERY handy for GNU Emacs users. Patch file
/usr/src/kernel/stkbd.c with:
