What gets sent when you press backspace? You can find out the latter with most shells by first pressing control-V then the key in question. It should be either ^H or ^? if it's anything like most standard terminals. You can fool around with putting something like "C-H" backward-delete-char or "C-?" backward-delete-char in your $HOME/.inputrc, or as appropriate for whatever sequence your terminal sends for backspace. There should be a readline man page on the system too that you can consult. Brian
