[Gcl-devel] Re: [Maxima] Maxima GUIs/emacs troubles! (and commutativity issues)

Good day,

Oh! Yes, I have a working terminal. For sure. I do all my work in 
consoles and text editors. I would go mad without a decent console!!!

Here's what happens when I use the back arrow (^[OD appears). Please 
note that "backspace" works. Back arrow is when you want to go back 
inside the command and edit it.

I should point out that I'm using RedHat. I built gcl myself and 
frankly, I just did the obvious (./configure, make, make install). I 
didn't check my installation. I don't know anything about lisp.

Thanks!
