Situation: calling in from home, using a terminal with no "delete" key. I've got a backspace key, though, and <CTRL><BACKSPACE> apparently sends the needed code to equal a "true" delete. In the basic Unix, I can use stty erase '^H' and the backspace key, by itself, will back up and delete the character. Emacs, though, doesn't recognize that I've done the stty in Unix, and demands the <CTRL><BACKSPACE> to back up and erase. Is there any entry I can make in my .login, .cshrc, or .emacs files to get emacs to accept the backspace, by itself, as a "normal" delete key? Thanks a bunch! Bob
