- _e_m_a_c_s_t_o_o_l - run emacs under Sun windows with function-key
- and mouse support.

- In ~/.suntools or ~/.rootmenu include a line like this:
- "Emacstool" emacstool -WI emacs.icon -f emacstool-init
-
- DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
- EEEEmmmmaaaaccccssssttttoooooooollll creates a SunView frame and a tty subwindow within
- which mouse events and function keys are translated to ASCII
- sequences which Emacs can parse. The translated input
- events are sent to the process running in the tty subwindow,
- which is typically GNU Emacs. Emacstool thereby allows GNU
- Emacs users to make full use of the mouse and function keys.
- GNU Emacs can be loaded with functions to interpret the
- mouse and function-key events to make a truly fine screen
- oriented editor for the Sun Workstation.
-
- (Note that GNU Emacs has a special interface to the X window
- system as well. The X window system has many technical
- advantages, it is an industry standard, and it is also free
- software. The Free Software Foundation urges you to try X
- windows, and distributes a free copy of X on Emacs
- distribution tapes.)
-
- Function keys are translated to a sequence of the form
- `^X*[a-o][lrt]'. The last character is `l', `r', or `t'
- corresponding to whether the key is among the Left, Right,
- or Top function keys. The third character indicates which
- button of the group was pressed. Thus, the function key in
- the lower right corner will transmit the sequence `^X*or'.
- In addition, the [lrt] is affected by the Control, Meta, and
- Shift keys. Unshifted Control keys will be non-alphabetic:
- C-l is [,], C-r is [2], C-t is [4].
-
- Mouse buttons are encoded as `^X^@([124] x y)\n'. ^X^@ is
- the standard GNU Emacs mouse event prefix, it is followed by
- a list indicating the button pressed and the character row
- and column of the point in the window where the mouse cursor
- is, and followed by a newline character. In GNU Emacs, the
- ^X^@ dispatches to a mouse event handler which then reads
- the following list.

- including font and icon specifiers.

- subwindow. The value of the environment variable _E_M_A_C_S_T_O_O_L
- can be used to override this if your version of EEEEmmmmaaaaccccssss is not
- accessible on your search path by the name _E_m_a_c_s. In
- addition, the run command can be set by the _p_a_t_h_n_a_m_e
- following the last occurrence of the -_r_c flag. This is
- convenient for using Emacstool to run on remote machines.
-
- All other command line arguments not used by the window
- system are passed as arguments to the program that runs in
- the Emacstool window.
-
- For example:
-
- local% (emacstool -rc rlogin remote -8 &)&
-
- will create an Emacstool window logged in to a machine named
- _r_e_m_o_t_e. If Emacs is run from this window, Emacstool will
- encode mouse and function keys, and send them to rlogin. If
- Emacs is run from this shell on the remote machine, it will
- see the mouse and function keys properly. However, since
- the remote host does not have access to the screen, the
- cursor cannot be changed, menus will not appear, and the
- selection buffer (STUFF) is limited.
-
- UUUUssssiiiinnnngggg WWWWiiiitttthhhh GGGGNNNNUUUU EEEEmmmmaaaaccccssss::::
- The GNU Emacs files lisp/term/sun.el, lisp/sun-mouse.el,
- lisp/sun-fns.el, and src/sunfns.c provide emacs support for
- the Emacstool and function keys. Emacstool will
- automatically set the TERM environment variable to be "sun"
- and unset the environment variable TERMCAP. That is, these
- variables will not be inherited from the shell that starts
- Emacstool. Since the terminal type is _S_U_N (that is, the
- environment variable TERM is set to _S_U_N), Emacs will
- automatically load the file lisp/term/sun. This, in turn,
- will ensure that sun-mouse.el is autoloaded when any mouse
- events are detected. It is suggested that _s_u_n-_m_o_u_s_e and
- _s_u_n-_f_n_s be loaded in your site-init.el file, so that they
- will always be loaded when running on a Sun workstation.
-
- In addition, Emacstool sets the environment variable
- IN_EMACSTOOL = "t". Lisp code in your ~/.emacs can use
- (getenv "IN_EMACSTOOL") to determine whether to do Emacstool
- specific initialization. Sun.el uses this to automatically
- call emacstool-init (getenv "IN_EMACSTOOL") is defined.
-
- The file src/sunfns.c defines several useful functions for
- emacs on the Sun. Among these are procedures to pop-up
- SunView _m_e_n_u_s, put and get from the SunView _S_T_U_F_F buffer,
- and a procedure for changing the cursor _i_c_o_n. If you want to
- define or edit cursor icons, there is a rudimentary mouse
- driven icon editor in the file lisp/sun-cursors.el. Try
- invoking (sc:edit-cursor)
