Thanks, mapped to \177 and works now. Totally confused though. On my home system(16.5), no .Xdefaults, backspace worked. Ofiice system(testreq) worked from console but not X. No backspace mapping in /usr/local/share/tn5250/XTerm. Some other mapping mysteries along those lines. Looked in the script xt5250 and saw nothing.

Its sort of as if some these keys are actually solved in the code
unless you have an Xdefaults, then you need to solve them.

If you map *any* keys in your.Xdefaults then you need to map *all* of them. If /usr/local/share/tn5250/XTerm has most of the mappings you want and add put just one in ~/.Xdefaults, all the previous mappings will be ignored and just the one in ~/.Xdefaults will be active. That's why I used this command the first time I installed tn5250:


cat /usr/share/tn5250/XTerm >> ~/.Xdefaults

Then edited ~/.Xdefaults the way I wanted.
