My guess... you aren't using Xterms and VI, or you have your .Xdefaults
file already set up to "fix" the problem.
For sure the problem hit me, which is why I complained. From 6.1 to 6.2
the backspace problem arrived. Add the XTerm backspace value and the
problem goes away. Obviousl

I've installed yet another RedHat 6.2 system and have again run afoul

This fresh-out-of-the-box system has this aggravating behaviour:
I type a long command, but make an error. I backspace to correct it,
but instead of removing the mis-typed character
In xterm both Backspace and Delete keys show ~ and the bell sounds.
In Xemacs the Delete key acts like the Backspace key. In the xterm
showkey shows Backspace as 14 and the Delete key as 111.
I'm at a loss as to what the problem is.
