Thanks Jonathan,
Unfortunately VNCThing suffers from the same problems (by the way, I incorrectly
stated that Control Shift '-' currently gives Control-'-', it actually gives
Control-Shift-downarrow). I suspect that the Mac OS does more processing of the key
presses than I want it to before the key presses reach the VNC viewer. I guess one
option is for me to do some more serious ResEdit hacking of keyboard layouts - but
that will affect the key bindings for all other programs that I use (and doesn't fix
the mouse issues).
I think the mouse problem is similar - getting the button presses at the appropriate
stage in the translation process.
By the way, my main aim in all this is to drive emacs (and similar programs) on a sun
using VNC from a Mac. So, the way I test things is to see what happens in emacs when
I press various key combinations.
