next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Sometimes when I ssh from a remote server and edit a file with
vi, my [Backspace keys] are not interpretered correctly.
Instead of erasing characters and backing up one byte and
clearing that character my cursor moves forward.
Example: typing "This" as "thos" and backspacing to the 'o'
I'll see "thos^?^?" Can anybody 'splain what idiot thing i'm
doing wrong and how to fix it?
tia,
gary
