All I know is currently in Sid doing # cd; mkdir park # mv .bash* .inputrc park/ # reboot #into single user mode too # ed f f: No such file or directory a mmmmmm\mmmmmm/ aabcde\edcbaa/
Backspace, (the key marked "<-" on the upper right of the keyboard for me) indeed does its job, but its effects look funny. It indeed wipes all the characters off the two lines. I had typed six characters, then hit backspace six times, above. # stty speed 38400 baud; line = 0; kill = ^X; -brkint ixany -imaxbel -iexten -echoe -echok echoprt Indeed, one can reproduce the effects in another window while you read this mail. Just do "stty echoprt; ed". Anyway, so maybe those initial three echo settings should be rethought... or maybe they are indeed wisest, as even printing terminals can use them... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
