Hi,

My question has to do with the backspace character in D3.
I use KDE's Konsole to login and work on our D3/AIX system. When I am
editing a file item with vi(m), my backspace key will just echo ^? .

Running stty -a from TCL shows my backspace key is set to ^H . If I
exit to AIX, stty -a shows my backspace is ^? . If I set my backspace
char to ^H (stty erase ^H) it does not carry through to D3. D3 seems to
have it's own way of setting the backspace character.

I am unsure what to change in D3 to insure I get a backspace character
that will match my AIX setting. The answer should be obvious to me but
somehow it aint.

What should I look at?

Thanks,

Hello Bob

Just as a quick check, KDE Console has its own settings and one of them
is how the BACKSPACE is referenced. I had the same problem when using
this key, but if you go into the settings you can click a TAG which
allows BACKSPACE to work one of 2 ways.

This may fix your problem

No - that's Gnome Terminal that has that ability. Konsole doesn't seem
to have that option.

Thanks anyway!

I don't know if this helps, but I use konsole on aix also, and a quick
check shows it sends a del, ascii char 127, with a backspace. From TCL
and basic inputs, this hasn't caused me any problems.
