emacs/freemacs

[Lee Bolton]

	hello.

	I am a long time user of vi under various versions of Unix.
	For a number of very good reasons, I have found it advisable to
	learn and use emacs. I have a 386 based clone, on which I have
	installed an older local archive of Freemacs. I must often dial
	into a large machine running Ultrix, and would like to avail myself
	of the GNU emacs there, and I would dearly wish to use the same
	key bindings in both environments. To this end, I need the following.

	1.	Advice, comments, tips, lore, rumors, gripes, & gotchas.
		This must be a common problem, with many solutions.

	2.	A terminal emulator or comm package that allows	the full use
		of an AT style extended keyboard.
		I am presently using Procomm, which uses the <ALT> key.
		I have kermit 2.25 but haven't used it much.
		A settings list of key bindings for kermit would be great.
		otherwise, any other solution is quite welcome.

	3.	A fairly complete termcap/terminfo descriptor
		for an AT with an extended keyboard.

	4.	All the mint code I can beg, borrow, or (figuratively) steal.
		There are a number of functions I would like for
		Freemacs. Rather than try to list them, I thought I'd
		just make a general plea and catalog the results, if any.
		I imagine my needs are not unique. If there is interest,
		I can post the collection.

	If it would help to close your eyes and picture me sniveling
	and groveling, by all means, do so. Follow-ups to me only please. TIA
