Bushnell): +--------------- | Go to your login prompt. GUESS WHAT???? DEL works!!!!!! So does | ^H!!!!! | | THEY BOTH WORK. +--------------- To quote your earlier comment: +--------------- | ACK! NO! NOT TRUE!!!!!!!! | | | BOGUS!!! Do Not Listen To This Garbage!!!!!#Q@#%@#!^@$%!%$ +--------------- What you say works for BSD UNIX. For Xenix, only ^H works. For some System V's, ^H and # both work. For other System V's and for System III, only # works. "UNIX" is obviously schizoid about the whole matter... With DEC terminals, I use DEL as a backspace under System III/V. On any other machine, I use BS. On ALL Unixes, with ALL terminals, I use ^C as interrupt. This is because on the majority of terminals I use, the backspace key is larger but the DEL key is right beside it, so I usually ended up aborting a program to which I had mistyped if I was typing fast. Then again, # has its place too. I once had to access ncoast off an LA36... AND WILL YOU BSD'ERS STOP ACTING AS IF THE WHOLE WORLD RAN 4.xBSD ON A VAX??? -- Brandon S.
