This query may be a bit far afield. If so, sorry.
Using K95, I connect via SSH to one of my lab systems. I have set (via a Dialer entry)
my terminal type to be vt320, and Linux knows that I am a vt320. I enter "emacs" and
attempt to enter a quoted-literal TAB character by typing Ctrl-Q, followed by Ctrl-I
(or Tab). Instead of seeing the cursor move a few blank spaces to the right, a "^@"
appears on the screen at the point, the bell rings, and the minibuffer displays, "End
of buffer".
If, using the same kermit session, I lie to Linux and set TERM=vt100, then the same
test results in the cursor moving a few blank spaces to the right, just as I would
expect. TERM=vt102 and TERM=vt220 also give the expected behavior.
What's different about vt320 that Linux emacs doesn't seem to care for? Thanks!
