Here is the output from stty -a straight after a login: speed 115200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl echoctl -echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho pendin -nokerninfo -extproc iflags: -istrip icrnl -inlcr -igncr ixon -ixoff ixany imaxbel ignbrk brkint -inpck -ignpar -parmrk oflags: opost onlcr -oxtabs cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl clocal -cstopb -crtscts -mdmbuf cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V; min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = <undef>; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W; I think that the default 'erase' should agree with the definition of the <Backspace>/<- key. >How-To-Repeat: Login and type stty -a, or try to erase/backspace in csh(1). >Fix: Dunno. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: Mark Murray
