It wouldn't have anything to do with this small snippet of code would it? From mycurses.H: // Generic encapsulation of keyboard input. Keyboard input is either // a key, wchar_t, or a special function key, like a cursor key. // Rather than pull in all the baggage of curses.h, just to get // the key definition, we define our own constants. Which also // makes it possible to define magic keys that are not defined by // curses.h Again, the DEL keysym and the BS keysym can translate to very different behavior, depending on the terminfo database. Incidentally, Eterm describes the process in this FAQ: http://www.eterm.org/docs/faq/, and goes on to point out that it has its own terminfo entry, so cone *should* work with Eterm if it is using terminfo properly, just as all my other programs do. Clearly, something is wrong. If cone works on your terminal, it's because you have your backspace key mapped to '^H', which may be fine for you, but it screws up a whole load of other programs. Ctrl-H is 'help' in loads of programs. -- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
