Ok, just a summary, from an unstable box ASCII DEL: - works in local screen (4.0.3-13) - doesn't work via ssh to an etch screen (4.0.3-0.3+b1) - works via ssh to a lenny screen (4.0.3-11) - works via ssh to a rhel5 screen (4.0.3-1.el5) - doesn't work via ssh to a rhel3 screen (3.9.15-10) Automatic: - doesn't work in local screen - doesn't work via ssh to an etch screen - works via ssh to a lenny screen - works via ssh to a rhel5 screen - doesn't work via ssh to a rhel3 screen Control-H: - works in local screen - works via ssh to an etch screen - works via ssh to a lenny screen - works via ssh to a rhel5 screen - works via ssh to a rhel3 screen This looks that the perfect stuff for me, except that it breaks in vim/etch. Escape-sequence: - doesn't work in local terminal - doesn't work in local screen (no real point to dig further then).
