- I'm using a version of xterm which does not understand the arrow keys. I tried
- the following in my ~/.emacs file:
-
- (define-key global-map "^[[A" 'previous-line)
-
- I get the following message everytime I use eval-current-buffer:
-
- Key sequence ^[[A uses invalid prefix characters.
-
- Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Please e-mail me directly, since I
- don't read this forum very often.

- Thanks in advance,
