I am currently using the pcvt option in the kernel for a number of
reasons. I am having trouble with backspace working correctly. Most apps
this isn't a problem, but in vi and using rxvt it doesn't work. If I hit
the backspace key in vi it retuns '0x7f' and with rxvt it returns ~. The
rxvt problem doesn't bother me, I use xterms. But vi is my editor of
choice and having to ESC-x everytime to erase is a pain. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.
I have tried stty erase ^? and it still doesn't work. With the sco
terminal option everything works fine, but I can't use that. :-(
Thanks in advance,
Ken
