No, you use the stty program to set the discard character (or any other special control characters for that matter). For instance, $ stty discard ^a sets the discard character to Control-A, $ stty discard ^o sets it to Control-O, $ stty discard 7 sets it to '7', and $ stty discard undef undefines it (after which there is no discard key). To see what other control characters you can set, do 'stty -a' and look under the "cchars:" section. > Also, do you mean that > you can just hit ^O and then another key and ^O will work correctly? Well, you hit the discard key and it works correctly. :) If you do the 'stty discard undef', there is no discard key. > Hmmm, what is discard anyways? I think at this point you'll just have to play with it to get a feel for it. :) I can also suggest the stty(1) and termios(4) man pages for terse but fairly complete explanations of what is going on.
