It's easy to have per user settings under $HOME (any other place to
store per-user settings is a mistake, IMHO, except when the user is
not supposed to alter them)
Some tools to make altering these settings easier would be
required but I would really like to know when they hurt.
What do we have now in Solaris? Erase defaults to ^??
What is the default for GNOME Terminal in Solaris?
(As seen when you hit "set compatibility options to defaults)
Backspace generates ASCII DEL
Delete key generates "Escape Sequence".
So what's up with that?
In the default user environment, the backspace key already sends DEL.
