control-space conversion (?)

[Daniel A Haug]

First, thanks to the many people who responded to me on getting
GNU Emacs up and running on the 4D machines.  I got it running
last week just fine.  Almost...

This brings me to my next problem.  I got quite a surprise when
I pressed c-SPACE and got a space character response, rather than
set-mark.  This is not an emacs problem, but is happening at the
tty level.  Why are my control-space characters being converted
to spaces?  Is it something in the hardware?  or in the terminal
driver?  I have done nothing unusual to cause this.  What can anyone
suggest?

many thanks again,

Dan Haug
