- Your problem may be related to the terminal type you are using.
- After emacs processes your .emacs file, it eventually loads in
- a file named terminal_type.el (ex: vt100.el) from the "term"
- subdirectory of the directory pointed to by the load-path
- variable (usually something like "/blah/blah/emacs/lisp/term").
-
- The intent of this file seems to be to provide some vaguely
- intelligent key mappings on per terminal type basis. Unfortunately,
- it may overwrite something you set in your .emacs. I had this
- problem with a VT100 key, and eventaully resolved it by
- adding one of my own directories to the head of the load-path
- list, and putting in my own vt100.el, which did what I wanted.
- Good luck!
