I am aware that the 'Emacs backspace takes me to help' question has been delt with ad-nauseum on other lists and pages, but I can't seem to get any of the suggested fixes to work. As in http://freebsd.active-venture.com/developers-handbook/emacs.html I added the following line to my ~/.emacs file: (global-set-key [backspace] 'backward-delete-char) In fact, it's the only line in my ~/.emacs Am I missing something? I'm using emacs20 from the ports collection (as emacs from ports would not compile due to the Xau3d compile error) on 5.4-PRERELEASE. $TERM is xterm Rodger
