So I do a lot of console stuff and I keep looking for better environments.
Much searching. Much sighing.
Apple's Terminal program does some funny character swaps when I'm doing search-and-replace under console Emacs.
Gnometerminal and iTerm looked good but they do CPU hogging at strange times (gnometerminal during long compiles, iTerm when I split the screen vertically with vim).
So I've given up on tab browsers and now I use ye older GNU screen.
But aterm has some funny "backspace not working" thing when I use GNU screen.
Which leaves, drum roll please, ye older xterm.
A million miles and I'm back to xterm/screen. Long journey and I'm back to that. Sigh.

Why not use the gui Emacs? Or are you running emacs remotely?
GUI emacs is great but you're right- i work remote. i'm trying to have a "there's no there, there" life where my i can work anywhere. more specifically, i want a life where i never have to reinstall anything or reconfigure anything if hardware dies. I like working on, say, debian machines adminstrated by someone else and all i have to do is code code code my stff
