Re: gold key for edt mode

[Thei Wijnen <t.wijnen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guenter,

I may have been not completely clear, so here is what I do.
I run putty on my windows computer and login to a Linux host.
Then I start xjed. So xjed runs on the Linux host and it displays
its window on my "xterminal", in this case its the windows computer.

In .jedrc I have:
...
#ifdef XWINDOWS
  require("x-keydefs");
  x_set_keysym(0xFFAA, 0, Key_KP_Multiply);
  x_set_keysym(0xFFAB, 0, Key_KP_Add);
  x_set_keysym(0xFFAD, 0, Key_KP_Subtract);
  x_set_keysym(0xFFAF, 0, Key_KP_Divide);
#endif
...

The message I get is:
 S-Lang syntax error: expecting a PRIMARY, found # in line 216

This is the line with #stop ...
I should not get this message because I run in Linux.
The remaining part of .jedrc is not executed.

Thei.
