stty -a. Look at `erase'. `erase2' is not supported by "a lot" of apps, but more and more seem to be supporting it. I've a PR that's still open, in attempt to get less/more to support erase2. Also, if you're not truly on the FreeBSD VGA console, cons25 is incorrect. In that case, try xterm or vt100. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977. | On Mon, Sep 20, 2004 at 09:51:48PM -0400, Mike B wrote: > Sorry if this is already addressed or is a non-issue.
