It looks like many of the control-function keys are already mapped to various things in OS X. You could try clearing them in System Preferences / Keyboard & Mouse / Keyboard Shortcuts and see if that helps. Also, instead of Terminal, you might try running xterm or one of its cousins in X11.app. That might help your page up/down problems, too. > > > - Apps see backspace as forward delete.

This is why I use aterm instead of Terminal. :) Another thing you can try is M-x normal-erase-is-backspace-mode. > I've also discovered that something is interpreting C-s as a prefix. > So if I want to search for "dog" in emacs and type "C-s d o g" I see > the "C-s d" disappear (even "C-h k" doesn't see it, so I'm pretty sure > emacs isn't seeing it at all), then "og" inserts. Any ideas? Odd, that works fine for me... Walt Attachment:
