for some reason, my xterm doesn't perform a backspace when i hit the left arrow key <-. rxvt does, but not xterm. i've looked at stty -- all the man page says is something about a backspace delay. i've also looked at xmodmap, and everything i tried didn't work. now i'm frustrated and asking if anybody knows how to map the left arrow key to a backspace (not delete/rubout). thanks! pete
