- I would have posted this as a follow-up article, but my news reader/spooler
- has lost the original article.
-
- Anyway, I earlier reported that the telnet included in Sun's PC-NFS 4.0
- product switched the meanings of the backspace and delete keys and I found
- this undesirable. I have been informed and have since found in the manual,
- the reference to the "-y" command-line option to switch these keys back.
-
- I say partially apologize since the technical support person should have been
- the one to point this option out but it looks like he missed it the same as I.
- Mistakes happen. I will complain that Sun chose, as a default action,
- something different than that under previous versions. In the grand scheme
- of things, however, I suppose that that is only a minor complaint.
-
- This is not, however, the most ideal solution as I now have to figure a way
- to make this the default behavior for this program, both under Windows and at
- the command-line prompt. This is not the easiest task, but I do not think
- that it is insurmountable. (At least, I hope that it is not.) I still wish
- that this had been some sort of configurable option, but that is neither here
- nor there.
-
- Again, I am sorry for "flaming on" for what appears now as insufficient cause.
