Hi Okay, i've read the docs&mans to the extent possible without finding anything about this, i've searched the whole net upside down, finally i edited the termcap manually, fixed "nd" to "^?" in cons25 def., made cap_mkdb on the termcap, and i still can't get the <DEL> key to behave as forward-delete. I succeeded for VI which gets it okay, but in the shells <BKSP> and <DEL> still act identically. Now, as i remember a few years ago this was the same, with FreeBSD 4.2 or 4.3... except at that time this didn't bother me at all. Now the problem is i have a lot of people who work in the shell on a daily basis, and they are used to <DEL> being forward delete, and <BKSP> being backward delete. Also, when i think a little bit further about this, i don't get the point of having two keys with the same function? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks&Best Regards, Vladimir
