* callint.c (Vshift_select_mode): New var. (Finteractive): Document new ^ spec. (Fcall_interactively): Call handle-shift-selection if the ^ spec is present. * keyboard.c (Vthis_command_keys_shift_translated): New var. (command_loop_1): Avoid running the direct display versions of forward-char and backward-char if shift-selection may occur. Don't change the value of transient-mark-mode; this is now handled by handle-shift-selection. (read_key_sequence): Set Vthis_command_keys_shift_translated if shift-translation takes place. * buffer.c (Vtransient_mark_mode): Move docstring to simple.el to avoid clobbering by define-minor-mode. * cmds.c (Fforward_char, Fbackward_char, Fforward_line) (Fbeginning_of_line, Fend_of_line): Add ^ interactive spec. * syntax.c (Fforward_word): Add ^ interactive spec. * window.c (Fscroll_up, Fscroll_down, Fscroll_left) (Fscroll_right): Add ^ interactive spec.

GNU Emacs 19.x and above do not compile out of the box on OpenVMS.
Richard Levitte <[e-mail]> is distributing and maintaining a
version of Emacs (currently based on version 19.28, but soon moving to
19.34 and then 20.1) that compiles and works on OpenVMS 5.5 and above
on both VAX and Alpha architectures.  For more information see

  http://vms.gnu.org/software/released1/emacs.html#get_emacs_1928_kit


[Update 2003-11-24: I am working on integrating VMS-specific bits
 back into the repository.  There are some work-in-progress files
 in this directory as a result.  Do not be alarmed!  --ttn]
