Hi there all...

I have recieved a couple of suggestions via email, which I am thankful for.
So far, the only one I have tried is the following:

In .xinitrc:
xmodmap -e "keycode 107 = 0x04"
xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace"

I have only just re-started my X system (logged out and then logged in again;
couldn't be bothered to try it directly), and I don't like it! Let me
explain...

In ALL terminals, I now have a problem when using term with trsh.  For
example, I am now typing into a remote emacs window, and the delete
key doesn't work.  Also, when trying to use ftp onn remote computers,
I find that I can't delte at all, whether with the backspace key or delete. 

Also, localy the delete key doesn't work.  It deltes the character and
gives you a new line, or something like that. Not as annoying as the
original problem.

I tried the stty sane approach, adn that worked.  I didn't try to
figure out how to implement it permanently, though.

I am about to try the addition to app-defaults/XTerm.  Will keep you
all posted.
