** Emacs spontaneously displays "I-search: " at the bottom of the screen.

This means that Control-S/Control-Q (XON/XOFF) "flow control" is being
used.  C-s/C-q flow control is bad for Emacs editors because it takes
away C-s and C-q as user commands.  Since editors do not output long

* Runtime problems on character terminals

** The meta key does not work on xterm.
Typing M-x rings the terminal bell, and inserts a string like ";120~".
For recent xterm versions (>= 216), Emacs uses xterm's modifyOtherKeys
feature to generate strings for key combinations that are not
otherwise usable.  One circumstance in which this can cause problems
is if you have specified the X resource

  xterm*VT100.Translations

to contain translations that use the meta key.  Then xterm will not
use meta in modified function-keys, which confuses Emacs.  To fix
this, you can remove the X resource or put this in your init file:

  (xterm-remove-modify-other-keys)
