No. You mentioned that it "_happens_ in _any_ lynx on Linux, UNIX, OpenBSD I tried." While I wrote in the last two lines you've cited: "but _not_ the lynx version in Debian 7 Wheezy". > I checked another system I have an account at Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 Are you sure it's a Debian _6_.0?

Will eventually cross-check in a VM.

Ok, to be more precise: I've never heard of "RUBOUT" as name for any key. :-) > I am old school. :-) .oO( /me too.

Cool, thanks for the link! If I ever manage to get an individually printed key cap set for one of my keyboards, it will have "RUB OUT" printed on the BACKSPACE key cap. :-D Regards, Axel -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <a...@debian.org>, https://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5 `- | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE
