I think we should add something to that. The whole proposal refers only to the Linux console and X; but it says nothing about some other terminals commonly used in Debian; at least, I also use `screen', `emacs' (in *shell* mode), and `ytalk' (esc-s gives you a shell). Well, there may be others, but the question is: should I, as the current maintainer of `screen', change its behaviour respecting `<--'? It currently generates `^H', but it's very easy to change that. Ian's current proposal isn't very clear on that. (BTW: I think I should change it). -- Juan Cespedes
