#
# Aliases to make the keys in emacs command mode behave as they do in DOS;
# this mapping mechanism is an undocumented ksh feature; works in xterm &
# dtterm, but not hpterm
#
#                          Key(s)         Emacs mode command
#==========================================================================
alias __A=`echo "\020"`  # up arrow    -> Ctrl-P (previous cmd)
alias __B=`echo "\016"`  # down arrow  -> Ctrl-N (next cmd)
alias __C=`echo "\006"`  # right arrow -> Ctrl-F (move forward 1 char)
alias __D=`echo "\002"`  # left arrow  -> Ctrl-B (move backward 1 char)
alias __P=`echo "\004"`  # delete      -> Ctrl-D (delete char under cursor)
# NOTE: below aliases don't work on a PC running a Windows X server:
alias __H=`echo "\001"`  # home        -> Ctrl-A (go to beginning of line)
alias __Q=`echo "\005"`  # end         -> Ctrl-E (go to end of line)
alias __Z=`echo "\007"`  # clear?      -> Ctrl-G (clear line)

# NOTE: this is a weird one that skips interpretation of emacs mode
commands,
#       so I use it to just print the system model and OS
INFO="### $(model) - $(uname -sr) ### "
alias __1=$INFO          # F1-F8
