well, there is a half-baked idea that I've seen go by: in emacs, *if* the user has done an stty erase ^h (ie. if the ltchars erase entry is ^h) then treat ^h as backspace, otherwise treat it as help-char...
However, that's not going into debian emacs unless it goes into the upstream version (19.35 due out soon...) (I'm very interested in solutions to this issue that have near universal buy-in, just to get everyone to shut up about it :-) :-) :-) since I maintain both emacs *and* X, and thus see *all* of the complaints, not just some of them...) _Mark_ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Herd of Kittens A Debian Maintainer -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
