Thanks,
I have tried the files from a RH6.0 installation I still have (I never had
6.2 here at work so I can't try that one), also someone sent me another
xterm file which I tried too.
Neither were satisfactory, making me think that it's not the XTerm file
which is causing the problem, rather than something wrong with the way
terminfo is being used.
BTW I said the problem was "Solved" by hacking around with the X server (PC)
but this is only satisfactory for comman line work; it makes vi and emacs
fail miserably.
Here is stty -a (on RH7.1 machine via hummingbird xterminal):
speed 38400 baud; rows 36; columns 80; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
eol2 = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W;
lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;
-parenb -parodd cs8 -hupcl -cstopb cread -clocal -crtscts
-ignbrk -brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl ixon
-ixoff
-iuclc -ixany -imaxbel
opost -olcuc -ocrnl onlcr -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel nl0 cr0 tab0 bs0 vt0
ff0
isig icanon iexten echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -xcase -tostop -echoprt
echoctl echoke
And here is is again (on Sun Solaris 7 machine with the same xterminal)
speed 9600 baud;
rows = 24 columns = 80; ypixels = 316 xpixels = 499
intr = ^c; quit = ^|; erase = ^h; kill = ^u;
eof = ^d; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>;
start = ^q; stop = ^s; susp = ^z; dsusp = ^y;
rprnt = ^r; flush = ^o; werase = ^w; lnext = ^v;
parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb hupcl cread -clocal -loblk -parext
-ignbrk -brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iuclc
ixon -ixany -ixoff -imaxbel
isig icanon -xcase echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh
-tostop echoctl -echoprt echoke -defecho -flusho -pendin iexten
opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel
Now ^h does in fact perform a backspace erase on both. But the backspace key
only erases on the Sun and not on the Linux system.
By the way, if I telnet to the Linux system, backspace/erase works fine.
Any more ideas?
Regards,
Jill.
