I've tried to set up my key bindings in csh w/ editmode=emacs.  I've had
some problems doing this.  My ~/.bindings looks like this:
bind-to-key	EndOfFile		\^]
bind-to-key	EraseLine		\^u
bind-to-key	InsertLiteralChar	\^^
bind-to-key	Repitition		\^v
bind-to-key	SaveMacroFile		\^x\^\\

I sometimes use rlogin or telnet to the NeXT, and when doing so am
constrained to use XON/XOFF, therefore rebinding SaveMacroFile to C-xC-\.
The others are set for aesthetic reasons.

The problem is that I get error messages that the functions Repetition and
SaveMacroFile do not exist, even though according the the man pages my
~/.bindings should work.

Further, C-u does not get rebound to EraseLine; it remains Repitition.
Also, rather than binding C-^ to InsertLiteralChar, ^ gets bound to
InsertLiteralChar.  Even C-] seems to misfunction (or more precisely not to
get bound to anything.)

Is this just an incredibly buggy implementation of the (NeXT)csh?  Or are
the manual pages out of date with the executable?  How do I get around
these problems?

Any help is appreciated.

P.S.	Does anyone know the status of the attempt(s) to port X11 to the
	cubes?  (I'd like to get emacs in its own window w/o using
	Terminal -Shell emacs &)
