I've made a set of modifications to uemacs 3.8i which allow it to use
the cursor control keys as well as home, clear, and end keys if you have
them.  It is designed to be used under UNIX and works with both Termcap and
terminfo stuff.  I've run it on a 3b2/300 and on a XENIX system.  Both purport
at least to be System V compatible.  A friend is currently checking to see
whether it will run on BSD 4.[23].  The changes consist of modifications
to three files, estruct.h, tcap.c and termio.c.  They are not particularly
complex and are fairly short.

I don't know whether they will work with 3.8l or anything else, but I believe
they will.  The same changes will also (probably) work with Jove.

The mods are still in the testing stage, but I would like to get a feeling
for how many people would like to see them posted or mailed or if it would
be better to send them to the current 'holder of the mods' to uemacs.  Please
MAIL me your feelings, and I will summarize to the net.  Thanks,
