Rxvt can understand the X resources of XTerm, too. Try writing in a file in your $HOME directory the following: XTerm*backspacekey: ^H Let's assume that you named the file ~/.Xdefaults for a while. Then you can use, while you're in X11, the command: % xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults See if things are working properly for you then, and if not, try setting XTerm*backspacekey to ^? instead of ^H. One of the two ought to work :) To have the command xrdb executed to load this resource file every time you start X11, you can add the xrdb -load command in your ~/.xinitrc file (if it's not already in there). If you find out that you don't have an ~/.xinitrc file, then you can copy the system default from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc to .xinitrc in your $HOME, and edit the file to suit your taste and/or style. - Giorgos Keramidas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
