I have recently installed the Unofficial HP Emacs distribution on a HP 700 series machine running HP/UX 8.0. I succeeded in compiling emacs on this system but am faced with a problem in using it in X. The system uses HP's VUE X environment. The problem is that the keyboard's backspace (delete) is mapped to ^H. This means that while in a X window pressing the backspace key results in calling up the emacs help system. Unlike most keyboards that I have used, there appears to be no delete or backspace key mapped to ^?. Is there a way in this distribution to map ^H to the normal backspace-delete while in X? I understand that this is not an easy thing to deal with, but I have seen a similiar thing done on a Apollo system. --- ***************************************************************************** | Nick R.
