Lines: 17 Nntp-Posting-Host: golem.ps.uci.edu In-reply-to: rcombs@nmsu.edu's message of 15 May 91 16:43:20 GMT Unfortunately, the Alternate-/ solution will not work with Emacs (the NeXT-ified emacs front end), since the Alt-key is used as Meta; one can overcome this by rebinding the Meta key. Of course, one can run a "pure" mouseless emacs in a Terminal/Stuart window. I use (in Terminal/Stuart) a modified USA-keyboard with Alt-/ = \ and Alt-Shift-/ = |. I find it useful for emacs and unix pipes when logged in via a terminal. Still, it would not have cost NeXT that much to provide one or two extra keys which can be reached with one's pinkie (say, below the loudspeaker keys). Greetings, Hardy -------****------- Meinhard E.
