;;; Commentary:
;;;; Terminals that use XON/XOFF flow control can cause problems with
;;;; GNU Emacs users. This file contains Emacs Lisp code that makes it
;;;; easy for a user to deal with this problem, when using such a
;;;; terminal.
;;;;
;;;; To invoke these adjustments, a user need only invoke the function
;;;; enable-flow-control-on with a list of terminal types in his/her own
;;;; .emacs file. As arguments, give it the names of one or more terminal
;;;; types in use by that user which require flow control adjustments.
;;;; Here's an example:
;;;;
;;;; (enable-flow-control-on "vt200" "vt300" "vt101" "vt131")
;;; Portability note: This uses (getenv "TERM"), and therefore probably
;;; won't work outside of UNIX-like environments.
;;; Code:
(defvar flow-control-c-s-replacement ?\034
"Character that replaces C-s, when flow control handling is enabled.")
(defvar flow-control-c-q-replacement ?\036
"Character that replaces C-q, when flow control handling is enabled.")
;;;###autoload
(defun enable-flow-control (&optional argument)

When handling is enabled, user can type C-s as C-\\, and C-q as C-^.
With arg, enable flow control mode if arg is positive, otherwise disable."
