What are the contents of .vimrc on the 7.0 machine? And how have you set your TERM environment variable on that machine? Does anything change if you connect directly to your 7.0 box without going through 6.2 in between? -- Sahil Tandon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Backspace Key Not Working
.vimrc on the 7.0 box: --- set autoindent set background=dark set backspace=indent,eol,start set cmdheight=2 set ignorecase set number set numberwidth=2 set report=0 set restorescreen=on set ruler set scrolloff=3 set showbreak=++ set showmatch set showmode set showtabline=3 set smartcase set smartindent set smarttab syntax on set visualbell set ff=unix --- I haven't manually set $TERM to anything, however I am running this inside screen (using UTF-8 encoding). So screen automatically sets $TERM to screen. I just checked, and if I connect directly to the 7.0 box using PuTTy, the backspace key works fine all the time. Thanks for the quick reply.
