Gee, Chris, RTFM. It's not rlogin, you know. Just because you want to
run a remote emacs doesn't mean it's no good. Rlogin has escapes too!

   This seems to have been added in 4.3; at least, I never noticed this
   in the 4.2 version.  I was sufficiently disgusted with the ^A and ^P
   behaviour that I hacked tip to have two new variables:

Nope. `Twas there in 4.2. Paul, you had better RTFM too!

   I'd like to post the whole thing.  Is this BSD-only code?  What are the
   licensing hassles if it is?  Obviously if it's ATT-derived, I can only
   post diffs, but what about BSD-pure stuff?  Chris?  You answered the
   last question about BSD policies -- got a quick answer to this one?

Nobody minds if you post diffs, as long as you don't reveal enuf of
the source to make any difference.

Context diffs between say, ls and tar are a no-no :-)
