I have a digital VT220 terminal in order to
access Unix. The funny thing about this
terminal is that the delete key is not acting
like a delete key. When I use it, it acts like
a Break and Return key instead. It doesn't
simply erase the preceding letter and backspaces.
Instead, it exits out of the whole command or
whatever and gives me a new prompt.
I have tried a number of things (playing with
the "Set-Up", trying to change my stty erase
(this won't work cause with the command
stty echoe erase 'delete key', I simply exit
this command and it is never communicated.),
calling the people at digital who had me waiting
on the phone too long, etc. If there is anyone
out there with this type of terminal (very similar
to the digital vt100) and can use their delete
key while in Unix, please please please send
me some hints.......Thanks (just in case.)
