Any key labled "Backspace" had better emit one of those. I know some VT220 emulators allow the backspace key to be configured for either cntl-h or delete, but that seems to me an abomination. Now, if you want to change around the mapping of backspace to INTR, or of DEL to erase, knock yourself out. That's the magic of UNIX. -crl -- Chad R.
