I discovered a problem with my changes. For the record I simply did:

*** readline.c	Wed Jan 17 15:11:34 1990
--- readline.c~	Sat Nov  4 08:42:01 1989
***************
*** 1994,2000 ****
    /* If this terminal doesn't care how the 8th bit is used,
       then we can use it for the meta-key.
       We check by seeing if BOTH odd and even parity are allowed. */
!   if (0)
      {
  #ifdef PASS8
        the_ttybuff.sg_flags |= PASS8;
--- 1994,2000 ----
    /* If this terminal doesn't care how the 8th bit is used,
       then we can use it for the meta-key.
       We check by seeing if BOTH odd and even parity are allowed. */
!   if ((the_ttybuff.sg_flags & (ODDP | EVENP)) == (ODDP | EVENP))
      {
  #ifdef PASS8
        the_ttybuff.sg_flags |= PASS8;

Which I thought was a fairly foolproof thing to do. However now I
discover that delete in user programs doesn't remove the deleted text,
e.g. if I'm sending mail, and am typing in the subject, decide I made
a mistake, hit delete a few times, the characters disappear
"internally" but remain on the screen.

I don't know that much about terminal modes (obviously!). Suggestions?
