;;; 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.")
