Getting the Delete, Home, and End keys to work consistently both from the console and through PuTTY has been a problem for lots of people.
Short form for csh: use bindkey to bind ANSI escape sequences so the keys work the same locally or remote: bindkey "^?" delete-char bindkey "\e[3~" delete-char bindkey "\e[1~" beginning-of-line bindkey "\e[4~" end-of-line However, a quick search found this web page, which covers both bash and tcsh (which'll work for csh): http://www.ibb.net/~anne/keyboard/keyboard.html -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
