Right now, the "Back space" generates the chareacter "^H". So in emacs 18.55, instead of deleting the last char, it just calls the help-for-help Emacs-lisp function. and it drives me crazy :-( :-( For exactly the same reason, I rebound my "Back Space" key to send DEL. I don't know if this will help you, because my soultion works with X Windows (X11R2). In mt .login file, I do: xmodmap .keymap.km where .keymap.km contains: ! ! Walt's xmodmap keymap modification file ! ! get rid of the stupid Caps Lock key remove Lock = Caps_Lock ! ! make the Back space key send me a DEL keycode 101 = Delete You'll notice that I disable the Caps Lock key, too. I'm a clumsy typist at the best of times, and was very tired of trying to hit CTRL-something and ending up TYPING EVERYTHING ELSE IN CAPS! -- Walt Sullivan 9D35 Carling Mail stop 104 ESN 393-7952 Unix mail: walt@bcarh133
