Re: [U2] How to set 'delete' key action in UniVerse
Thanks all for the good leads. We also found thet PTERM ERASE seems to work well in this situation; it had been used here in some of the login scripts but not others, presumably as an artifact of switching programming teams some years back. Many thanks for the assists! stty erase '^?' in the user's .profile or .bash_profile will work. The only caveat is that the backspace key will no longer work for backspace, only the delete key will work. But if you're dealing with an old VT100 terminal that only has a delete key, this shouldn't be a problem. -- John Hester System Network Administrator Momentum Group Inc.

Peter D. Ivanick wrote: I've got a request from my programmer to set the delete key to act as the backspace key does inside UniVerse in the terminal definition (VT100UV) -- it works as expected at the bash shell but not at the TCL prompt, even though I've run both tic uvtic to compile them, and used SET.TERM.TYPE at the TCL prompt. I keep getting ^? as the character returned from the delete key, and I can't seem to get it mapped properly , using kdch1, kbs, or bs set to \b.
