Thanks to all who volunteered their suggestions on fixing the problem with the delete key in aixterm. The solution I attempted and got to work was to add *aixterm.translations: (Key)Delete: string(0x7f) to the .Xdefaults file and then stty erase ^? works as expected. Thanks to benson@odi.com (Benson I. Margulies). There was a suggestion that the use of the -v flag in xterm should be sufficient, but this is not the case with my 3005 version of aixterm. There may be a patched version of aixterm available but I don't have it and don't plan to look for it until I run into the *next* annoying bug.

-v was broken by 3005. There is a fix which I got on a disk. I don't like -v because it uses an eeeny weeny font instead of the nice robust font that usually get. -- Benson I. Margulies
