replace-string on escaped character

2002-05-14 Thread Gary Turner
I'm embarrassed to ask this. I'm guessing there is a simple solution that I am simply missing. For whatever reason, a text file that I need to work on renders the apostrophe as \222 in emacs. The file isn't large, about 3000 words, but the writer seems enamored of contractions and possessives.

How do you change the cursor?

2002-03-21 Thread Gary Turner
emacs 19, 20, & 21 on my woody boxes all have blinking cursors, which I find annoying. Oddly enough, emacs 20.7 on my winbox does not blink. I didn't find anything in the .emacs file that I might have done differently. So what do I look for, and where? So, the questions are how do I change th

TTY1 went bonkers last night. I had done "pr XF86Config | less." Halfway down the second page it started printing the old IBM text based graphic characters. (At least that's what they look like.) Upper case and numbers look ok, except for a few oddities, eg. the underscore is a space and the + i
