;;; Commentary:

;;;; Terminals that use XON/XOFF flow control can cause problems with
;;;; GNU Emacs users.  This file contains Emacs Lisp code that makes it
;;;; easy for a user to deal with this problem, when using such a
;;;; terminal. 
;;;;      
;;;; To invoke these adjustments, a user need only invoke the function
;;;; enable-flow-control-on with a list of terminal types in his/her own
;;;; .emacs file.  As arguments, give it the names of one or more terminal
;;;; types in use by that user which require flow control adjustments.
;;;; Here's an example: 
;;;; 
;;;;	(enable-flow-control-on "vt200" "vt300" "vt101" "vt131")

;;; Portability note: This uses (getenv "TERM"), and therefore probably
;;; won't work outside of UNIX-like environments.

;;; Code:

(defvar flow-control-c-s-replacement ?\034
  "Character that replaces C-s, when flow control handling is enabled.")
(defvar flow-control-c-q-replacement ?\036
  "Character that replaces C-q, when flow control handling is enabled.")

;;;###autoload
(defun enable-flow-control (&optional argument)
  "Toggle flow control handling.
When handling is enabled, user can type C-s as C-\\, and C-q as C-^.
With arg, enable flow control mode if arg is positive, otherwise disable."
  (interactive "P")
  (if (if argument
	  ;; Argument means enable if arg is positive.
	  (<= (prefix-numeric-value argument) 0)
	;; No arg means toggle.
	(nth 1 (current-input-mode)))
      (progn
