- I have recently installed the Unofficial HP Emacs distribution on a HP
- 700 series machine running HP/UX 8.0.
- I succeeded in compiling emacs on this system but am faced
- with a problem in using it in X. The system uses HP's VUE X
- environment. The problem is that the keyboard's backspace (delete) is
- mapped to ^H. This means that while in a X window pressing the
- backspace key results in calling up the emacs help system. Unlike
- most keyboards that I have used, there appears to be no delete or
- backspace key mapped to ^?.
- Is there a way in this distribution to map ^H to the normal
- backspace-delete while in X? I understand that this is not an easy
- thing to deal with, but I have seen a similiar thing done on a Apollo
- system.
