This patch only changes the keystroke generated by Backspace (in fact the patch does that the key generates a BACKSPACE character). With the vanilla configuration you can generate a DELETE character using Delete key. If you use Delete, the prblem is fixed?, and if you execute stty erase before of running ed and try again with backspace? Regards, -- Roberto E. Vargas Caballero
