I noticed on 5.2 that somehow the control-v key has been redefined from page up (i.e. move the cursor down a page) to paste. This is driving me up a wall because I cannot seem to find where this was (re)defined. Downloading emacs from prep.ai.mit.edu and recompiling yeilded the same result. I am not sure if someone from MIT did this or someone from Redhat did this and placed it in a system config (lisp) file. -Robert
I was unable to observe this behaviour using emacs in console mode. Are you running emacs from within X and if so, what window manager are you using?
It never occured to me to check the window manager. I am using after step. I did a telnet from another machine and it was defined as I expected. I am not sure how to look into the definition files for after step. I will find it though - could it be that someone wanted to make it more MicroStuff compatible (i.e. Control-v is a paste a friend of mine told me who uses win-95... not admitting that I actually use Windows mind you... understand..?). I'll have to rip it out if it is there though. -Robert
