help-gnu-emacs: I am a powerbook G4 OS X 10.2 user and am brand new
to GNU Emacs.
To customize GNU Emacs, I have tried to create a .emacs file that is
bug free without
success that works on the terminal.app .
What I would like to do at this time is two fold.
1.) map the arrow keys to their respective GNU Emacs commands.
1a.) preserve the C-x 1 window setting; when butchering the attempt at
1.) the window gets split into 2. I tried to get a macro
inserted into
.emacs below but it does not work
2.) map the delete-backward-char command to the "delete" key. I could
not so
I chose to map to the "pipe" key instead.
Anyway, below is the butchered .emacs file so far, which needs attention.
Please advise.
