I tried grabbing ^^^^^ Huh? I run DVANSI, then GO32 DEMACS, in an otherwise vanilla DOS window. I usually use a scalable font window, but that's irrelevant to performance. I use the standard 'ibmpc' in the termcap that comes with DEmacs. Have you tried setting TERMCAP to that termcap in your environment and TERM to 'ibmpc'? Do you have (setq dos-machine-type 'ibmpc) in your _emacs? I didn't notice an xterm in the DesqView/X distribution.... I suppose that would allow primitive use of the mouse---I just use Emacs cursor keys, though. What somebody really ought to do is port Epoch. I've got the source, just not the time :-) And of course there are sure to be really hairy problems getting pipe()d and fork()ed processes to work (cf recent complaints about porting GhostView). > the entry from my SPARCstation and althoug it improves > things, it doesn't seem to be quite right. Would anyone be Please define your problem. I'm just guessing above. For this, we really need (the relevant portions) of your _emacs, autoexec.bat, maybe config.sys, and so on. > willing to post their solution to this problem? > > Thanks in advance.
