I can't get telix to do what I want it to (v3.11). Specifically, there is an option while dialing: "BS key sends." To log into my UNIX account, I want it to send a DEL. The only way I can see to get telix to perform this swap is when I dial. If, for example, I exit telix with a connection still going, and start a new copy of telix that picks up the connection to the UNIX host, the backspace key will be sending backspaces again. I can find no option to fix this. Is there a way I can coerce the key mapping functions to do it? What is the funky sequence I tell the key mapper to send a delete? (it says that ^@ is null, for example. What is delete?) This comes up as sometimes the VT102 emulation gets a little confused in telix, and I have to exit and restart to repair it.

There is an option in one of the submenus of Alt-O to do this. It may or may not work with version 3.11 (3.12 is the latest). Alternatively, you can do the key mapping on the UNIX end...try "stty erase '^H'". - Jonathan Watts jrwsnsr@jupiter.nmt.edu on the Internet
