- The new X386 is wonderful! And it is with much trepidation I ask the
- world: why does the erase char print under the 386BSD shell, rather than go
- backwards one char (it does delete a char backwards, it just doesn't
- move the cursor backwards)? I tried the -tn -tm and -cu options to xterm, but
- I can't seem to get a destructive backspace (or kill). Here's the output
- of stty -a:
-
- speed 9600 baud; 24 rows; 80 columns;
- lflags: icanon isig iexten echo -echoe -echok -echoke -echonl echoctl
- -echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -mdmbuf -flusho -pendin
- -nokerninfo -extproc

- brkint -inpck -ignpar -parmrk
- oflags: opost onlcr -oxtabs
- cflags: cread cs7 parenb -parodd hupcl -clocal -cstopb crtscts
- cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
- eol2 = <undef>; erase = ^H; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V;
- quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = <undef>; stop = ^S;
- susp = ^Z; werase = ^W;
-
- Doubtless the answer is silly, but eludes me. BTW, erase works fine in
- vi or if I call a remote system via tip. I am running X from the
- console via xinit (that OK?) and 386BSD pl58+. Thanks.
