I later ran across some discussion of this, while searching the xemacs-beta archives for something else. In any case, my current workaround is: 1) Accept that BS (actually, C-h) performs delete-backward-char with my existing tty setting, so I don't really need a DEL key. 2) Accept f1 for 'help-command. (My NT telnet client doesn't pass f1 directly, but it's easy enough to configure a mapping that works.) 3) Use M-ESC ESC (keyboard-escape-quit) where I would normally use C-g. Obviously I would prefer to have C-g working directly. Regards, David
