Thanks for responding. Mike Smith: |> DOSCMD seems to work "much" better than when I tried it last.

If you are running in an X window, you want to |look at the 'xmodmap' command, which will allow you to frob your |keysyms to your heart's content. But users shouldn't have to redefine the keycode-to-keysym mappings for their entire X Display, affecting the KB config for all their other clients, just for doscmd. An option to use the backspace key and its default binding to the <Backspace> keysym as the backspace key in doscmd would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Randall
