[comp.unix.aix] Mapping DEL on SUN Keyboard to BS under aix

lindsay@sesame.lbl.gov (Lindsay Schachinger) (06/15/91)

My RS/6000 was just upgraded to 3.1.5, and in the process I lost
the fix which caused Delete on my SUN keyboard to be mapped to
Backspace when I open an xterm (xterm -v) on the RS/6000. We have
another RS/6000 which hasn't been upgraded yet, and there I found
that I'd changed the file /usr/lib/terminfo/dec.ti so that it
didn't define kdch1=\177. But copying that dec.ti to the 3.1.5
machine didn't do the trick. When I hit Delete, I just get a
beep. 

This is driving me crazy (especially since it already drove me
crazy once!). Can anyone help?
