Could anyone who is running Rxvt on FreeBSD-2.1.0-RELEASE tell me how
you got it to read the Delete key properly? When I press Delete I get
]]3~ or some such instead of Delete. Since I log into many systems
which expect a Delete instead of a Backspace (and I use Emacs on all
of these systems, and RMS has a bug up his er-um about ^H/DEL), I
really need a terminal session that will not barf on Delete.
The reason I want to use Rxvt is that it accepts the vt100 print
sequence, and pipes to lpr. If there's another terminal session
program out there that will do that, I'll use it. I am not dedicated
to Rxvt at all.
