hi there.

i just downloaded emacs-19.29-for-linux from a sunsite mirror.

it appears to be working ok, except for when i start it up. i always get
an error message:

Key sequence ESC [ 1 9 ~ uses invalid prefix characters

i'm not sure what this means, or where it comes from. it is not in any
.rc files, because i have a 'dummy' account without any. when i give a
command-line file, it doesn't get loaded.

this happens whether i use the emacs-with-x or emacs-without-x.

i couldn't find anything in the faq, so i thought this would be the place
to go next. any help would be appreciated. if not, then i'll try the emacs
newsgroups.

thanks in advance.

and lo, there was much rejoicing among the people, as

a little more information --

when i use emacs-19.29-with-x and let it use its own window, there are
no problems at all. when i use emacs-19.29-with-x -nw, or i use
either emace-19.29 on a console, i get the error.
