I have a PC-XT connected to a main frame through a RS232 connection. I am using the PC as a terminal by running Procomm on it in the terminal emulation mode, emulating the H-19 terminal. Everything seems to work fine, except when I try to use the editor EMACS. Once I start editing a file under Emacs, the problem I face is that if I want to go back to delete a particular character on a particular line, I cannot see the effect of the Cntrl-D key. The Cntrl-D key is supposed to delete a character. However I do not see any effect. I have verified that Emacs does receive a Cntrl-D when I press the Cntrl-D. I verified this as follows: 1. By using the describe-key function of Emacs. 2. By using Cntrl-D then saving the file, getting out of Emacs and then looking at the file with either EMACS or LESS. The saved file does show that the character I ahd deleted is indeed gone. It therefore seems to me that the problem is that my screen is somehow not updated when I use Cntrl-D. Other delete commands such as ESC-H also (delete backwards) also do not work. By the way the operating system on the main frame is Ultrix. I would greatly appreciate any advice and or solutions for this problem. Thanks in advance. Faheem Akram

The Cntrl-D key is supposed to delete a character. Try using the VT102 emulation instead of H-19. This is what I use with my PC with Procomm, and I haven't had any problems with it.
