I had understood this (kinda): as I tried to explain, I had executed "stty erase ^H" for the tip version of st. I mentioned this exactly because I wanted to make it clear that the problem was not because of this commit. That's a fail. Sorry. > If you use Delete, the prblem is fixed?, With the tip version of st, Delete works as a backspace outside ed, but writes "^?" when used in ed. > and if you execute stty erase > before of running ed and try again with backspace? Same behaviour as with the 0.5 release of st (as clunkily explained in my initial message). -- A.N.
