However, if I ssh to a remote host from within this buffer, only the TERM variable remains set and the keybindings don't work. If I manually set the TERMCAP variable nothing changes. Is there a way to ssh to a remote host from within a multi-term buffer and have the terminal capabilities work out? I'm running emacs 23.3 on 8-STABLE. Thanks. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Public key: http://gly.ath.cx/pub_key.txt ----------------------------------------------------------------------
