This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

================================================================

The info file for term states

> 
> Term Mode
--------- 
> 
>    The terminal emulator uses Term mode, which has two input modes.  In
> line mode, Term basically acts like Shell mode; see *Note Shell Mode::.
> In char mode, each character is sent directly to the inferior subshell,
> except for the Term escape character, normally `C-c'.
> 
>    To switch between line and char mode, use these commands:
> 
> `C-c C-k'
>      Switch to line mode.  Do nothing if already in line mode.
> 
> `C-c C-j'
>      Switch to char mode.  Do nothing if already in char mode.
> 

However, the line and char mode switching sequences are reversed,
and info should say the following.

> `C-c C-k'
>      Switch to char mode.  Do nothing if already in char mode.
> 
> `C-c C-j'
>      Switch to line mode.  Do nothing if already in line mode.

Re: info for term has C-c C-k and C-c C-j reversed

The problem was fixed on the mainline, in emacs/man/misc.texi:

    Revision 1.40 - (view) (download) (as text) (annotate) - [select for diffs]
    Sun Jul 7 23:48:41 2002 UTC (4 years, 11 months ago) by rms
    Branch: MAIN
    Changes since 1.39: +17 -4 lines
    Diff to previous 1.39

    Document C-c . in Shell mode.
    In Term mode, C-c C-j and C-c C-k were backwards.

The index entries didn't get swapped, so here is a patch against the
latest CVS sources:
