Re: C-a acts different in 22.0.90 then past versions

[Warren L Dodge]

I'll try emacs-22.0.96 as soon as I can get it built. In the mean time here
is the answers to all the other questions.

emacs-22.0.90 -Q
c-xc-f /etc/termcap 

c-xc-q     To make it writable
c-kc-kc-y  kill the first line and put it back. 
           It will not do it without this line kill

c-s the    do this until you leave the first screen displayed. This will
           recenter the buffer on the "the" found. Then c-s for one more
           "the" below but on the same display screen. For the GNU/Linux on
           the redhat 4.0 release it was about 16 additional c-s commands to
           get it. I think near the bottom will work also. 

c-a        this will recent the screen on the line where the "the" was at.


Here is my .Xdefaults showing screen size and font

xrdb -q | grep emacs

Dtwm*Emacs*WindowMenu:          XtermMenu
Emacs*Background:               LightBlue
Emacs*BitMapIcon:                on
Emacs*Font:                     fixed
Emacs*Foreground:               black
Emacs*cursorColor:              blue
Emacs*pointerColor:             blue
Emacs.Geometry:                 80x48-0-0
Emacs.pane.menubar.background:  white
Mwm*Emacs*WindowMenu:           XtermMenu


I am logging into a solaris machine using CDE with the DTWM window manager. I
then use "xon linux_host" to get an xterm on the GNU/Linux redhat 4
machine. Then I run emacs-22.0.90 -Q 

I also tried the same binary on a redhat 3 machine
and a solaris 8 build with the same results.

  Since all I have done is emacs-22.0.90 -Q I assume not.

No, everything looks right

It doesn't seem to matter. I used /etc/termcap above, but a perl script with
all the colorizing and stuff does the same thing.

   Fundamental for /etc/termcap and PERL for the perl script

   fixed

This will take a day or two. I need to squeeze it in when I have some extra
time at work.
