- That sounds correct. At startup, demacs redefines the keyboard using
- ANSI conrol sequences. Usually this is cleaned up after exit. This
- is all done in ibmpc.el. Maybe your version is messed up for some
- reasons. First you should check that ibmpc is loaded at startup.
- In your _emacs you should have:
- (setq dos-machine-type 'ibmpc)
- and you should have "unqouted" the lines following
- ;; IBMPC initialization
- ;; function keys, cursor keys, meta key (by ALT)
-
- If this is correct, delete ../term/ibmpc.elc and byte-compile ibmpc.el
- again.
- If this doesn't help, get a new ibmpc.el and byte-compile it.
- If this doesn't help, ask again (not me :-).

- So long, Michael
