[unix-pc.bugs] 3B1/7300 <del> key bug

bbh@whizz.UUCP (Bud Hovell) (09/03/88)

On the 3B1/7300, '/etc/profile' has a trap statement that disables the <del>
key, which is very desireable to have when you are working in Informix.

After each 'trap' statement, remove the '2', and all terminals & the console
have this function available.

Huh?
Sounds like you screwed up your /etc/profile.  I've got no problems with using
my delete key over here on my 3B1.  The last line in my /etc/profile reads:

trap 1 2 3

Which disables all the traps before ~me/.profile is invoked.
