[lug] Emacs won't type "["

[Glenn Murray]

Thanks for the reply, Tony.  You were right on: the output is below.
This is related to the problem of opening the file in different file
systems, too.  One line you see below is

[ ? C-c SPC ? C-v SPC ? C-c	Prefix Command

Now, C-c C-v C-c is the JDE shortcut for the compile command, and when
it's working properly that is how it's displayed on the JDE menu.
However, when I load a .java file in the DOS partition without loading
one from a Linux partition first, the menu display is that above.

I have no idea where it's going wrong, but I'll redo the prj.el file
and see if that helps.

Thanks again,
Glenn Murray
