This changed between the 950210-SNAP and the current sources. Someone changed the keyboard mapping so that the backspace key now sends del, and you have to use shift-bs, or alt-bs (or whatever) to get an ^H out of it. Personally, I would rather have it send ^H, since my "del" key does a fine job of sending "del" as input. For now I'm setting my own keyboard map via kbdcontrol to set it back to the way it was. -- Mike Pritchard pritc003@maroon.tc.umn.edu "Go that way. Really fast. If something gets in your way, turn"
