Fun with *zwei-comtab*

I'm using a Sun with the UX board and like it a great deal. There is
one nagging problem, however. In zmacs, the line feed key acts as the
line key. This key is to small- so I normally end up hitting return and
then tab. In my attempts to reduce keystrokes, I've tried the
following:
Set package zwei ;; Note I'll use a $ instead of a sharp sign- mulitcs
doesn't like sharps (set-comtab *zmacs-comtab* '($\line com-insert-crs))
(set-comtab *zmacs-comtab* '($\return com-indent-new-line)) ;; This
basically should switch the two keys- or am I doing something silly? ;;
When I move to zmacs and hit $\return- I end up in the debugger with ;;
an error I can't remember at the moment. ;; If I hit $\line, no
problem. It works like it should, i.e. $\return.
Any ideas? And no- I don't want to buy a symbolics keyboard for the
sun.
Many thanks, Bill
I would LOVE to buy a symbolics keyboard for the suns (ux400's) we have here,
but not only are they not available, we havn't been able to bootleg a hardware
interface for them yet! Anybody out there already do it?
