Thank you.

  When I use emacs 18.58 and I'm not using a true (more or less) VT100
terminal, I can not use the cursor keys correctly.  I will just get B's for
down, C's for right, D'd for left, and A's for up.  This happens both on VT102
emulation and xterm windows.  Any help would be appreciated.
Email prefered since I can not always read the news.
Thanks,
Ben

Would someone compare this mode with auc-tex?

auc-tex is available for ftp at iesd.auc.dk in the file
/pub/emacs-lisp/auctex_5_6j.tar.Z

It includes all the below changes except point 1 (which is not needed)
and point 3 (the first point 3 :-).  It also includes many other
features, among them parsing the TeX output for error messages,
translating them to english, and positioning the cursor (like M-x
compile and M-x next-error).

Edward> The main changes are:

Edward> 1. It uses comint.el, not shell.el.  (I've put a copy of
Edward> comint.el in ftp directory.)

Edward> 2. LaTeX mode is now pretty smart about closing an open \begin
Edward> block and all standard LaTeX blocks are known.

Edward> 3. There is a SliTeX mode.

Edward> 3. There is a choice of printers.

Edward> 4. There are preview and BibTeX commands.

Edward> 5. TeX (or LaTeX or SliTeX) is now run in the proper place

I think that AUC-TeX is quite a nice package, but it is very large to
be part of the general Gnu emacs distribution, and can quite overwhelm
small machines (like my 4-meg ST running Minix) because of its size
and the amount of computation involved.  I think that emacs 19 should
still have a small TeX-mode included.

By the way (is RMS listening?), perhaps Gnu emacs 19 should include at
least a partial list of standard enhancement packages, like Gnus, vm,
hyperbole, Auc-TeX, etc., in the etc/ directory.  Of course, only
packages placed under the conditions in the ubiquitous FSF "Copying"
file would make it to the list.. ;-)

Here's a quick hack.  Set the variable search-file-list to a list
of directories to search (the trailing "/" is optional) then call
search-for-file-in-list.

(setq search-file-list '("/usr/include" "/usr/include/sys/" )) ;; E.g.

(defun search-for-file-in-list (name)
  (interactive "sfile name \(will search for it\) ")
  (let ( (p search-file-list)
         (found nil)
         (file-name nil))
  (while (and p (null found))
    (setq file-name (concat (file-name-as-directory (car p)) name))
    (if (file-exists-p file-name)
        (setq found t))
    (setq p (cdr p)))
  (if found
        (find-file file-name)
                (message (format "Unable to find %s" name)))))

(setq search-file-list '("/usr/include" "/usr/include/sys/" ))

I have got some problems installing Emacs 18.58 under X11R5PL12.
When I start emacs after succsessfully compiling and installing it:

$ emacs
Xlib:  warning, client built for newer rev (11) than server (0)!
Xlib:  warning, client is protocol rev 0, server is rev 16384!

does anybody knows how to solve this problem?

Thanks for any help.
