Re: Bug#6014: emacs shouldn't use C-h for "help"



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

C-h aren't the first issue where emacs have to deal with keys mapping.
Flow control keys *was* a most critical one. But I don't know for emacs,
but xemacs has a enable-flow-control-on who takes some terminals has
arguments (sush as VT100, ansi, etc.) The only con it's it use getenv who
is a unix function... But who cares ;-)

I suggest to put something like this in the site-lisp

(if (= "XTERM" (getenv "TERM"))
      (progn
	(define-key global-map "\C-x?" 'help-for-help)
	(define-key global-map "\C-h" 'backward-char)))

May be they're some bugs here but I take the mapping from Learning GNU Emacs,
which can be hurt...

Just a few suggestions.
