Hello AJ: or is it terminal type or is it xterm? or windowmaker?? I gather from what U have said that U R running WindowMaker Xwm. I request you to visit a wonderful site on the Keyboarding problems at http://www.ibbnet.nl/~anne/keyboard.html (Tnx toa similar fix given to me by our fellow lister Sudhakar Chandrasekharan). Hope this link and a visit fixes all your Keyboard capers... ragOO, VU2RGU. Keeping the Air-Waves FREEAmateur Radio Keeping the WWW FREEDebian GNU/Linux

Re: Backspace key wont work RESPOND ASAP!
Hi AJ, Why not try changing your terminal type to something like vt100 with the command: TERM=vt100 Also find out what the current value for TERM is before changing its value. echo $TERM AEleen Frisch in her book describes a fix for a corrupted back space key if it is showing either ^h or ^? stty erase ^? stty -a shows the current terminal settings. So the problem could be in several places. -- 0 0 L R Associates Home Page:http://www.netaxs.com/~ldc/ ___ooO ~ Ooo___ LeRoy D.
