man termios - you can familiarize yourself with the main concepts using the 'stty' shell command You'll need to do a get tcgetattr(), and check the value of the VERASE option in c_cc element (termios_p.c_cc[VERASE]). That is the tty's erase character. You can also mess with X, and make it send a ctrl-H, but that can break alot of other things (see xmodmap, and the many "how do I make X send ctrl-h" questions answered online). -- Ted Deppner http://www.psyber.com/~ted/ _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
