When I press 'delete' it changes the casing of the letter that it's on ie. N --> n. The only thing I've been able to do even close to deleting is that if I type some text and then press the arrow left arrow key it kind of undo what I just typed. I have no idea how to delete. I've used vi many times on many different systems and this is usually not the behavior that I would get out of it.

What behaviour are you getting at the moment? Are you saying that when you press backspace you're getting a ^? instead of ^H? Details would help. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- char *p="char *p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
