Getting back to the original issue: "when text-mode emacs wraps a line, it displays a backslash at the end of the line indicating that the rest of the line of continued on the next logical line" [--- emacs line width ---] This is a line wrapped in\ emacs. [ --- end of emacs ------] Emacs running under X (both GNU and XEmacs) use a graphical character at the end of the line that does not get pasted when you use the mouse to cut and paste. But, emacs running in a pure text environment shows the backslash as above, and you are using ssh (or telnet etc.) to log in to the Linux system and you want to cut and paste something with long lines. Is this the gist of the problem? While I don't know the solution offhand, there are some variables and commands: 1. variable: truncate-lines command: tooggle-truncate-lines However, this will display a $ at the truncation point. 2. variable:print-escape-newlines I'm not 100% sure this is the variable to clear, but it is a step in the right direction. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
