I have one HOWEVER I am reluctant to release it for general use until I
find out exactly how to stop an ESC from being eaten by a search command.

The problem is, let's say you do a search...and then failing to find 
anything you want to use the cursor keys. The darn thing eats the ESC
character (I think it wants to use that character to signify end of 
searching) and then the rest of the keycode shows gleefully up in
your edited file. 

So (noting the Followup-To line) if anyone has any authoritative or 
informative ideas on how to fix this (or if it is even fixable) then
I'll post or mail or whatever is appropriate my AT386.el file.

A person was frighteningly ugly. Once he was asked how could he go on
living with such a terrible face. "Why should I be unhappy?", answered
the man. "I never see my own face; let others worry."
