I'm telnetting into the box using Kea which is set to think I'm using a vt420. So, no x-windows. This is all brand-new on this machine. We got enough of a critical mass that the sysadmin put emacs on for us. Not sure where he got all the pieces since the story I heard was that the IBM distibution kit didn't have the non-x emacs binary (implying that other parts were missing as well).
In the old days, you could get the terminal's /etc/termcap entry, then set the TERMCAP environment variable on the remote system to that string before invoking emacs. I would usually do that by writing the entry to ~/termcap/vt420 (e.g.) and then export TERMCAP; TERMCAP="`cat $HOME/termcap/vt420`" But I don't know if that still works... -- Kevin Rodgers
