I think we have a much, much, bigger problem with sites (the most notorious
are the banks) which instead of using ordinary links and (if they must)
standard Javascript, use IE-specific tricks. You can't get around these
problems by installing any additional sof
to send a ^? (delete), so don't be surprised if it does (maybe your
terminal emulator sees this stty setting and generates the character it
expects).
The least likely problem is that somehow your underlying X-Window system is
sending a "delete" character

for ^? to be the erase key. The horror! What an abomination :( And apparently,

In particular, can one of these keywords be used to say that inserting
or deleting waw or yod is more likely then
a test I just did).
I never understood the UTF-8 problem, by the way. Was this bug ever fixed?
No encoding conversion should have ever been this slow. Even if they would

On my Fedora 14, for example, I see "modeline" and "modelines=5", so it should
work, and look into the first and last 5 lines of the opened file for the
