Date: 5 Jun 1994 19:30:30 GMT Organization: University of Washington Lines: 10 Message-ID: <2st94m$qgu@news.u.washington.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: goren.u.washington.edu Summary: in xterm, how to get backspace return DEL? Keywords: Backspace, DEL, termcap Hi there, I'm using FreeBSD 1.1 Release. In pc3, the backspace key returns DEL (\177). I'd like to have the same setting for xterm. I edited termcap and change kb to \177. It didn't work. In xterm, I still get ^H. (Actually, the cusor is back as before, but it doesn't erase the last charactor. By the way, the erase is DEL.) Can anyone help me on this problem. Thanks. Eugene Liu
