Because here and with CTWM I have simple xterms; on my "new tao" runnning Gnome as a manager, I use Konsole. Entrely to get the BEL in vi/nvi. I find that if I use Settings -> Keyboard and then select "FreeBSD Console", I come fairly close. Then [Backspace] backs up, but the characters are not erased as I space backways. UsingTerminal, it defaults to this. Anther indicator thata Garrett is right is that by doing an "ssh -X tao", X gives me X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) Major opcode of failed request: 100 (X_ChangeKeyboardMapping) Serial number of failed request: 7 Current serial number in output stream: 12 q3 20:06 [5032] If this gives annybody a clue, I'd be much obliged for some insights. ..... gary > -- > CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] > Brian K.
