If you have the port of Eberhard Mattes (I don`t know any other),
there should be a file em-keys.el (??? I am not shure, but `em` is okay).

There are most bindings for PC-Keyboards (Functionskeys, Arrowkeys etc.).
That should do the trick !


BTW, anyone interested in having ALT-PAGEUP doing scroll-other-screen-up
(ALT-PAGEDOWN is doing scroll-other-screen-down) ?
If so, I`ll post the changings...

Cool! I just got a Fax/Modem (Practical Peripherals 14400) and would like to
get better fax software that would work under OS/2. Does this package that
you mention have an annotation feature? This is very important since I often
receive forms to fill out and can't be bothered saving the fax as a PCX so
I can modify it, then convert it back, then fax it, etc. Do you actually
have to have a coupon to get it for this price, or just mention it? I
definately cant afford to spend more than $99. THanks.

Where did you get your copy of OS/2 emacs?  It should have the function 
keys, arrow keys, pageup/down, etc. already configured.  Look at the file
em-keys.el in emacs\lisp and the emacs.doc for further hints on 
customisation.  You should have those files, unless you just downloaded the 
diffs and compiled from the original GNU sources.  Hope this helps.

    I have been struggling to have WIN-OS/2 start up after booting. I placed a
    shadow in the startup folder, but when I boot the system appears to hang
    on a blank screen after initiating the DOS-WINDOWS run sequence. A quick
    CTRL-ESC nad I get a task list that says WIN-OS2 is running.

    Next, a double click on the tack list, and Win-OS2 now loads. Not exactly
    what you would call an object that runs on boot.

        Any suggestions?

Both programs are also available from ftp.uni-erlangen.de in Germany,

	pub/pc/os2/fauern/crypt/pgp21os2.zip
	pub/pc/os2/fauern/crypt/pgp21src.zip
	pub/pc/os2/fauern/archiver/hpack78os2.zip
	pub/pc/os2/fauern/archiver/hpack78src.zip

Note that the standard pgp 2.1 has a very slight bug when using in
pipe/filter mode and writing a binary file to stdout, which is then
done in text mode and thus makes the output unusable. This version has
the bug fixed.

Note also that HPACK is VERY slow and this is (currently) normal with
it.

I recall having to do just that. I did it using WP by configuring an Apple Lazer printer,
which uses postscript. I then selected that printer, and printed the document to a file.
This file could then be printed on any postscript printer.

Maybe I'm confused here but I can run X programs from remote machines
on my PC and I can run xhello (the only X program on my PC) on my PC
from a remote machine.  I therefore think that I have both server and
client support.

A point of interest though: Before I actually got things running correctly
I had the remote machine running xhello on the PC and displaying on the PC.
While this was going on, the focus of _all_ of my X programs changed to
pointer (since that was the focus policy of the remote machine). Strange.

I've had no such problems but maybe I'm just lucky. The speed is pretty
good though, about 1/3 (using 4 bit color) the speed on an NCD X-terminal
(using 1 bit color).

A friend of mine is having trouble getting Compton's Encyclopedia
for Windows to work under OS/2 (GA+SP), either in full-screen
or seamless mode.  It immediately crashes with the (windows)
error message "Can't initialize DBTEXT.DLL".  This dll is in
the same directory as the program, which is the working directory in the
program object.  We've also tried starting the program
from a cmd shell and from the drives object, with the same result.
The program works fine under Windows 3.0, not under WinOS2.

Can anybody suggest a way to get this working?  Please mail your
replies to Stephan Fischer (fischer@tammy.harvard.edu).

My system editor doesn't like me any more. It does whatever it can to

when exiting, is what I'm talking about. Very annoying. When I want to 
save what I've written, it bombs if the file doesn't have a type. If the
file already has a type, no problem. If it doesn't, the dialog box 
saying there's no type to it comes up. When I press the button to set a 
type, the system editor disappears. SYS3175 says the message box that 
tells me my system editor is no more.
 
Unfortunately I don't remember when this first began. It's been like 
this for some time. I'm not sure if this was when I installed the SP or 
if it's some time after. Can anyone tell me size and dates on relevant

After requesting your files from host and choosing Zmodem protocol,
wait till the host is ready to send. Then, hit ALT-X. At the Ckermit

I spoke with WP a few days ago as well.  They also informed me of the
delay in WP for OS/2 2.0 but went further to explain that one of the
biggies built into WordPerfect 5.2 (a $50 upgrade) for Windows is
actually for support for use under OS/2 until the OS/2 version of 
WP for Win comes out.  Not heavily advertised, as they don't want to
step on sales of their own products currently for OS/2 1.x, most people
would not know this.  Claims to be OS/2 smart and will multithread and
show significant speed advantages over WP for Windows 5.1.

While I and others thank you for the solution, it seems a long step from not finding a
file to setting an environment variable. When I ran into this problem, I did a search on
BMTAG.TAG. Nothing found. Copied file into current directory. tried again. Different file
missing. Too many other things to do - run without help. What clues led you from the missing
file to the environment variable?
