26;;; Commentary:
27
28;; Terminals that use XON/XOFF flow control can cause problems with
29;; GNU Emacs users. This file contains Emacs Lisp code that makes it
30;; easy for a user to deal with this problem, when using such a
31;; terminal.
32;;
33;; To invoke these adjustments, a user need only invoke the function
34;; enable-flow-control-on with a list of terminal types in his/her own
35;; init file. As arguments, give it the names of one or more terminal
36;; types in use by that user which require flow control adjustments.
37;; Here's an example:
38;;
39;; (enable-flow-control-on "vt200" "vt300" "vt101" "vt131")
40
41;; Portability note: This uses (getenv "TERM"), and therefore probably
42;; won't work outside of UNIX-like environments.
