I use xterm because i like it. But when i load vi, the backspace key doesn't work on my local machine. When i use wterm, it does. When i use xterm to telnet/ssh somewhere else, it works fine. But on my local machine, using vi, backspace just beeps at me. Delete works, but i want backspace to work. here are the contents of .Xdefaults: ========================= XTerm*termName: xterm-color XTerm*backspacekey:^H Xterm*backarrowKey:false XTerm*font:7x14 Xemacs*geometry: 80X35 ======================= What do you think? jm -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick -- jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org "It took the computing power of three C-64s to fly to the Moon.
