You probably seen this on the newsgroup, but I've now seen a few posts
which seem to suggest that our treatment of ESC and meta seems to have
changed/broken since 19.14.

Thought this might ring a bell for someone.

I posted a few days ago about this, but I've got a few more clues.

Basically, with XEmacs 19.15 the escape key doesn't work anymore in
viper-mode. I've compiled on redhat 4.0 and redhat 4.1 linux machines, and
Digital Unix 3.2.

Starting up as xemacs -q or removing the ~/.emacs and ~/.vip files doesn't
help any.

When running as xemacs -nw though, the escape key works perfectly, so it's
only when running in an X11 frame that things don't work.

According to the lisp function key-binding, the escape key is bound to
vip-intercept-ESC-key as it should be, but it still acts as a prefix key when
I hit it. Ie, M-x describe-key ESC doesn't work, it just waits for me to press
another key and then describes whatever meta-key combo I just entered.

That's all for now. If I find out anything more, I'll post it, and if anybody
has info, I'd be grateful.
