My system (1.2, from Infomagic CDs) doesn't seem to have it. I have
the manual pages, but no such executable (either installed or listed
in the Contents file). Which specific package is it in?
Anyway, I want the real documentation so I can understand what's really going
on--and to be able to know the options for fixing things. (E.g.:
- how to get Alt to work again as Meta in Emacs and xterm (or bash?)
- how to get non-ASCII ISO8859-1 characters using Alt (well, probably only
the other Alt key) (That is, how can I have a normal U.S. keyboard,
and enter accented characters occasionally?)
- whether those two things can happen at the same time
- why my numeric keypad is screwy:
- why the Num Lock LED is backwards
- why Emacs and Netscape ignore the numeric-keypad keys in numeric
mode (they yield digits when typed into bash in an xterm)
- etc.
)
