Hi all, I have one of those questions that you hate to ask because you know it's in a FAQ or manpage somewhere, but I have looked feverishly and have not drummed up the right answer. My problems is this. I want the tradtional behavior of the backspace key. That is, delete the character at point and move point back one character. My xterm DTRT, but programs like Netscrape and some Motif programs that I am working on do not. In these broken instances, the Backspace key == the Delete key (delete the character at point). I have tried several X-servers (XF86_SVGA and Xaccel) and the only one that seems to DTRT is the box that has Xaccel on it. I don't know why this would make a difference, but I can't find another difference between the boxes that do work and the ones that don't. BTW, I have run 'dumpkeys' in all cases and the output looks identical. If anyone could find it in their heart to provide some hints, I would be very grateful. Most humbly, Steve
