After some experimentation, I found that the following works if you add it to /etc/X11/Xresources: *VT100.Translations: #override KeyBackSpace: string(\177)\n\ MetaKeyBackSpace: string(\033\177)\n\ ... Didn't produce any change for me. bash-2.01$ bind -p |

Just to followup on my own message, it's probably not a bug in xterm because bo's xterm binary misbehaves identically when copied to slink. -- Pete Harlan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
