- NOTES 10/1/94 -- Alpha 5.95
-
- ===========================================================================
- = A word on installation... IMPORTANT!
- ===========================================================================
-
- Tcl was originally written for unix-like systems. These systems typically
- do not have many special characters in their file names. Initially, tcl
- refused to work even w/ pathnames that contain spaces. The Tcl source
- itself works fine w/ these names, but tcl scripts have to be careful in how
- the names are manipulated. This problem gets even worse if the filename
- contains square brackets ('[' and ']'), curly braces, or other
- non-alphanumeric characters. I've fixed all the scripts that I've found
- choke on pathnames w/ spaces, but many of them still don't work w/ square
- brackets.

- Starting in 5.95, Alpha will automatically prompt you for keyboard type
- the first time you start up, and one of the following commands to your
- userStartup.tcl file. If you want to change this setting at a later time,
- search userStartup.tcl, remove the offending lines, and restart.
-
- U.S. keyboard:
-
- init 0 2
-
- International keyboard:
-
- init 1 2
-
- With the second setting, will now use your native KCHR. However, the key
- binding labels (such as F1 etc.) may not work, and option-e etc. are now
- "dead keys".
-
- By default, the option key is used as a META key, duplicating escape
- key sequences. To use the option key to create option characacter
- combinations, change the line:
-
- set optionIsMeta 1
-
- to:
-
- set optionIsMeta 0
