[climacs-cvs] (no subject)

Hello, I am a young hacker in Canada wanting to take up a REAL set of parenthesis. I have found I have been slaving away in at elisp waayyyyy to long. I now see Climacs as the purist lispy editor in existence. I decided I should carefully read all of the handful of tutorials available on asdf and its CLOSSY world. I carefully, manually, downloaded every dependency in existence, and linked them together to my symbolic directory. I fired up sbcl and from a slime REPL loaded Climacs... And I was amazed to see the mysterious marvel of the makings of a great text editor! All was well as I typed: "Hello Lisp" and in pure emacs tradition I then typed C-h... And up comes: "C-H is not bound" So unfortunately I end up coming here asking if someone may have had the same problem as I. After a bizzilion tries I find that I can in Climacs: type lowercase letters fine type upercase letters fine type Meta key chords fine but when it come to Control key chords the letters jump to a capitol letter with Control so C-h becomes C-H. C-l becomes C-L C-b becomes C-B and so on.... And of course my keyboard works fine on regular emacs both in terminal and X11. I even tried switching back to Debians default qwerty map and disabling my xmodmap customizations, but it did not change anything. Sorry to bother the development of a remarkable text editor but I would really like to get in on the glory of typing high school brain drizzling assignments on a entirely lispy editor that is a little more sophisticated than a... um... (ed) !! And I swear not to touch the heeeeven suite of ingroan toenails commonly known as Hemlock. (I estimate cmucl has more C and (bash guess the variable scripts) than GNU emacs!) Thanks in advance to any help in this direction.
