[comp.unix.aix] aixterm delete key

paulonis@kodak.com (Mike Paulonis) (06/29/91)

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.
