I recently downloaded the source for bash2.01 from sunsite and compiled it my self. I copied the bash executable to /bin, being sure to backup the old executable. Now most things seem to work fine. I had read the reason helper apps don't work with Netscape was a bug in bash 2.0. I can now call Real Audio Player from Netscape with no problems.
But I am having one really annoying problem. In Netscape and XFMail the backspace key now works as delete. It deletes the character to the right of the cursor. I am running Debian 1.3.1 with the key mappings unmodified. In my xterms and at the console the backspace key works correctly. In XFMail it actually works correctly in the subject and to fields but not in the composition window. I know this is caused by bash because I can change back to the old executable and the backspace key works correctly. Can any one help? Also is there going to be a stable and safe way to upgrade to bash 2.01 (by way of a deb package) any time soon? Of is there already and I don't know about it? I would like to install as few programs from unstable as possible. Thanks. ------------------------- E-Mail: Travis Cole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.methow.com/~tcole -- Get my Public Key here Date: 25-Aug-97 Time: 14:10:22 The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music. ------------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
