No, F2 = function key 2.

F2                  select_menubar

'^H k' says 'Key "F2" runs the internal function "select_menubar".'

I've found I can get the functionality I want with these statements:

local_unsetkey("\e[[B");
local_setkey("save_buffer",         "\e[[B");        %   F2

but "Help->Describe Key Bindings" reports:

F2                  save_buffer

and "Help->show Key" or '^H k' reports:
'Key "F2" runs the S-Lang function "save_buffer".'

I find it confusing that in both cases the 'F2' key is reported.

mike@/deb60:~> jed --version
jed version: 0.99.19/Unix
 Compiled with GNU C 4.4
S-Lang version: 2.2.2

jed compile-time options:
 +LINE_ATTRIBUTES +BUFFER_LOCAL_VARS +SAVE_NARROW +TTY_MENUS
 +EMACS_LOCKING +MULTICLICK +SUBPROCESSES +DFA_SYNTAX +ABBREVS
 +COLOR_COLUMNS +LINE_MARKS +GPM_MOUSE +IMPORT

Using JED_ROOT=/usr/share/jed

It's also true that something with the mouse from outside Jed can't be pasted
into a Jed buffer. Is there some flag I should be setting true somewhere?

Thanks,
Mike
