I'm sorry, I thought you wanted backspace to use as a backspacing delete
key?? If there's nothing to delete, it will go 'beep'. Oh, and it usually
doesn't cope with linefeeds, a backspace while the cursor is on the left
hand side of the screen doesn't (usually) work like Windows, and move to the
end of the previous line. I think you may be after some kind of history
option on the command line, where you can go back over your previous
commands, edit them ,and resubmit them. There is a way of setting VI to
become your 'historian', for want of a better word, you can then use VI
command keys to edit the text. Something like the following commands;
FCEDIT=vi; export FCEDIT
EDITOR=vi; export EDITOR
(Excuse the syntax, work related stuff forces me back to Windows, so I can't
go and check)

Subject: [newbie] backspace and EMACS
Anyone know how to
1) enable backspace? someone told me to do
"stty erase [backspace]" then enter...
The problem is when I press backspace here, nothing
shows up. The Computer just beeps and when I press
enter, it'll say "missing arguments"
2) enable automated tab thing in emacs? Meaning like
whenu do brackets for if and while statements... I
can't get it indent correctly.
3) increase color pallete on video card setting?
One more random question:
Just b/c I can see my window partition, does that mean
Samba is already installed? if it is, how can i go
browse the network neightborhood?
