Subject: 23.1; tpu-edt
Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2015 14:49:32 -0600

We have using emacs with the tpu-edt.elc keypad emulator on Red Hat Linux Release 3 and Release 5
with no problems. On Release 5 we are running emacs version 21.4.

We are now upgrading one server to RHEL6 and tpu-edt does not work properly. Most single keypad
commands (NEXT LINE, FORWARD, CUT, etc.) work fine, but SELECT <kp-decimal> does not. None of
GOLD keypad commands (OPEN LINE, CHGCASE, PASTE, etc.) work at all.

The version of emacs included with the RHEL6 repository is 23.1.1. I see that the current version
is 24.5. I don't know if that is related or not.

I can reproduce the problem by entering /usr/bin/emacs -f tpu-edt <filename>.

Please let me know if you require more information. I can be reached at robertb <at> bsp-mail.com
or rlbrightman <at> gmail.com

Thank you.

Robert Brightman

23.1 was released in July 2009, so this issue might indeed have 
been resolved in more recent releases. Is it possible for you to 
try a more recent version, either by installing a different RPM, 
or by manually compiling and installing the current version 
(24.5)?

I actually tried a few commands that Robert said didn't work, both in
Emacs 23.1 and in 24.5, and they seem to work for me.  For example,
SELECT <kp-decimal>.  So I'm still unsure what is the problem.
Robert, can you show a recipe, starting from "emacs -Q", that doesn't
work as expected, and explain the problems in detail, please?

In addition, perhaps Robert could try using edt.el instead; if that
works for him, it would be a better path forward, because tpu-edt was
obsoleted in v24.5, whereas edt.el wasn't, and thus the latter will be
better maintained in the years to come.

Thanks.

No response in a year, closing.
