So, wheras ^H erases a character, it does not delete it and i get error messages such as `cleax^H^Har not found' ^? DELETES characters, but they remain visible on the screen and the cursor does not move back. They seem to swap roles depending on what i set an the erase character in my stty. 3) Sometimes, the xterminals (and ONLY the xterms) refuse to respond to the keyboard. Any new terminals called up too behave the same way and the only way out is to exit X. Why? bhiksha Aside: I ftp-ed if_ed.c for the ne2000 driver from NetBSD-current in sun-lamp. How do i compile and install it? bhiksha bhiksha@tifrvax.tifr.res.in
