- Norman,
-
- I use the vt102 emulation on the Suns here most of the time. The
- trick I use for creating a destructive backspace is the following:
-
- At the Sun prompt (assuming unix os):
-
- C-shell: Type the following two commands:
-
- %set term=vt100
- %stty erase <backspace>
-
- Bourne Shell: Type the following three commands.
-
- %TERM=vt100
- %export TERM
- %stty erase <backspace>
-
- The first command(s) for both shells tells the shell what terminal type
- you have. If you do not give these commands then unix will probably think
- you are working on an ansi terminal.
- The last command for both shells sets up the destructive delete. BTW- If
- you are using the Bourne Shell I suggest you try switching to the
- C-shell instead.
-
- I hope this helps.
