I'm not sure whether this just in Ubuntu or in the Gnome desktop or what, but for days, when I type mail in vi in mutt, sometimes I get a "^?" when I hit the backspace. ^H still works to back up and correct my typos, but that's lots more work that what my fingers are accustomed to. It may be when I'm ssh'd across servers. I thought I'd ask here before I dig into this. I think a new xterm was recently updated in ports; not sure if tat is a factor or not. xev understands that the b'space key is a backspace and tells me the keycode. Should I just us xmodmaprc to fix this? thanks for any clues!! gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix
