- Keywords: MS-DOS Kermit 2.31, EMACS, Meta Key
-
- If you are using kermit (version 2.31 only) with emacs on a mainframe, the
- following file may help you. It assigns all the Alt-keys so that the Alt key
- may be used as a "Meta" shift, e.g. Alt-x produces M-x, etc. Note that it
- will distinguish correctly between upper and lower case and accepts all
- printables. (If anybody has the patience to do the Meta-Ctrl combinations,
- please post them!) This actually sends "escapes" so you don't need 8 bits.
- This file also sets up the cursor keys to behave as expected.
-
- On extended keyboards (the ones with a separate cursor pad, like PS/2s) you
- also get assignments for Page Up/Down, Home, End, Insert, Delete, etc.
-
- Please let me know if you find any problems with this.

- [Ed. - Thanks, Joel! Your key definitions file has been put in the kermit
- distribution area as msiema.ini ("ms" for MS-Kermit, "i" because it's an
- initialization file, "ema" for EMACS), along with this message as msiema.hlp.]
