Sam,
The problem with any library trying to redefine I-Search is that ^S
remains hardcoded for subsequent searches in the same search. In the
case of the VT100 library, I believe it is ^\ that is defined to be
used instead of ^S. Unfortunately, a second ^\ will terminate the
search instead of going on to the next occurrance of the string typed
so far. It would be a significant and welcome improvement to the
VT100 library if *someone* could figure out how to redefine the search
terminators to be compatible with the concurrent redefinition of
I-SEARCH!
