Anyone know? Documented somewhere? OK - I don't understand the problem. How does using the @ sign the source code affect the GEM edit field? Surely you can type an @ into a GEM edit field! I don't remember that ever being a problem in the past. If this is the case, we should change it. > The original tty kill character in UNIX was @. No it wasn't. Its always been the DEL character, which often shows up as ^@. I even have an AT&T 3B2 machine running SysVr3.1 (the class of machine that SysVr4 was written on) and its set to DEL, not @. If there is some correlation between the AES and STTY settings, then the AES should follow what the MiNT kernel says are editing characters, thus you should be able to change your edit keys via STTY, or some control panel that uses the same interface.
