Re: read a reply from the terminal

[Johan Bockgård]

Is there a way to make Emacs always interpret ^G as a normal
character?

Here's an illustration of the problem:

    emacs -nw -Q

In *scratch*, press C-j after

     (read-key-sequence "Paste: ")

Assuming that the X selection contains the characters `a b c ^G 1 2
3', a <middle-click> produces

    "^G"
    123

"abc" are lost.

(The same thing happens with responses to send-string-to-terminal.)
