Hello, When I ssh my FreeBSD 4.8 machine and try to use ee(1), I always notice that Backspace erases the following character, not the previous one. On the contrary, I've noticed that it does not do that when I login via console. So I decided to play with the value of $TERM. By default, when I ssh FreeBSD via PuTTY or Apple Terminal, I have the TERM variable set to "xterm" or "xterm-color". When I tried to manually change $TERM on FreeBSD and run ee, using "setenv TERM vt102 && ee test.txt", then Backspace key in ee(1) did behave as expected. Please, notice that Backspace does behave as expected in tcsh, it's only ee(1) that shows this problem. How do I fix it without changing $TERM? Thanks, Constantine.
