I figured maybe = I was using the wrong shell... if so how do I change shells? is this the = problem?=20 the reason I figured it was the wrong type of shell... is because = del/delete doesn't backspace either, it gives me weird characters like = "^something " the delete/del problem might just be that is a rule my = admin had set or something but I don't know so I'm not really concerned = with that but if it helps to understand what I might be doing wrong then = shout it out right? thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give -Mark Hillis-=20
