I don't know when I first noticed this, but when I'm using telnet on my PC (PC-NFS 3.5), connected to our Sparc 1 (SunOS 4.0.3c), when I hit the delete key to erase a character, the character on my screen doesn't get erased, but simply pushed over. Here's an example (the underscore represents the cursor location): Here I type something prompt% foobar_ then I decide to erase, so I hit the delete key six times, to erase `foobar'. prompt% _ f o o b a r As far as our Sparc is concerned, the characters really got erased, so my problem is really only cosmetic. Still, it's odd not to see the characters getting erased... It's almost as if the Sparc is echoing a `backspace space backspace' sequence when I type delete, only for some reason the `space' is *inserting* on my screen, instead of *overwriting*. What's really weird is if I sit at a different PC on the same network, which has *exactly the same* executables for telnet.exe and emtelnet.exe, and log in to the same Sparc from there, the delete key works fine. Weird... Thanks for any suggestions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Eric Hanchrow sun.com!nosun!yamada-sun!eric | |Phase III Logic, Inc. cse.ogi.edu!yamada-sun!eric | |1600 N.W. 167th Place Beaverton, OR 97006-4800 USA | |Voice: (503)-645-0313 Fax: (503)-645-0207 as of 4-Oct-89| --------------Crackling-noises-OK--do-not-correct!----------------------
