CS/CE 218 Lecture -*-Outline-*-

* input editing

advert: basics of typing and getting responses from the Unix shell,
	things that you'll use every day.

** control characters
	Q: (For Cpr E's) what do you think pressing the "control" key does
		in a terminal's hardware/electronics?
	notation ^T (conventional), also ctrl-T

	helpful to know that:
		escape (important for emacs) is ^[
		backspace is ^H
		tab is ^I
	these are also usually labelled keys on a terminal

*** Erase
	Q: What is the default erase character?  How is it used?
		^H
		I use delete key, since it matches emacs (^?)

*** escape character (\)

	The Unix "escape character" (\) and the escape key are different.

	Q: how would you escape the escape character?

*** Kill
	Q: What is the default kill character?
		^U

*** Interrupt
	Default is ^C (not delete or rubout as in book).

** stty
	only affects standard input (the shell) not emacs
	Q: Why are users allowed to change the default erase and kill chars?

	Q: Is there any reason to know the system defaults for erase and kill?

	Q: why do changes made with stty go away after you log off?

	...went to emacs at this point in Fall 1991
