Hi, In a previous message I reported that rxvt was converting Shift-h to Ctrl-h. It was not so. The problem is due to a bug in rxvt.bat and to the peculiar way rxvt handles the BackSpace key. In rxvt without options the BackSpace key yields "^?" and Crtl-BackSpace yields "^H". In the shell `stty -a' says `erase = ^?', BUT ALSO ^H erases. Giving `stty sane' sets `erase = ^H', then only ^H erases (Crl-h or Ctrl-BackSpace). If one sets `stty erase ^?', then only BackSpace, that yields "^?", erases. In rxvt.bat there is the option `-backspacekey ^H', but actually the Windows cmd-shell filters the "^" symbol and one gets that the BackSpace key and the Ctrl-BackSpace key actually yield "H", but rxvt also modifies stty, so `stty -a' says `erase = H', but as in the original case also Ctrl-h erases. If one gives `stty sane' one sets `erase = ^H', one can verify that Shift-h, BackSpace and Ctrl-Backspace yield "H". One may erase with Ctrl-H.
Solution: Put in rxvt.bat `-backspacekey "^H"' Bye R.M. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
