view lisp/flow-ctrl.el @ 98182:19ec1646fe6c

The Rmail/mbox merge has been abandoned in favor of a restart using the current rmail.el file. A comprehensive list of changes will be supplied when pmail.el is morphed back into rmail.el The current status is that pmail.el supports basic Rmail navigation (no summary support) and shows the current message in a special buffer using buffer-swap-text. No decoding is done yet. That is the next step.

;;; 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.")
