Setup stty erase key

Sachin Patel — Fri, 27 Sep 2002 19:49:59 GMT

Hi All,
I am loggin in to hp system from linux workstation by using xterm -e rlogin system1. In this case by backspace key is not working.
If I put stty erase '^?' in .cshrc then by backspace key work but then it wont work for xterm which is coming from HP workstation.

So I think solution is to find out where is the rlogin coming from. if it is from linux then set stty to ^? or left default.

Is there a way to find this out in remote system?

Hi Sachin,

My preference is to change the setting in my terminal emulation instead of .profile or .cshrc. I've not tried this but xterm on HPUX has an "-tm" argument where you can set erase similarly to how stty would. At least that's how I read the man page.

Does xterm on your Linux system have the same or a similar argument?

Just remembered I have access to a Red Hat 7.2 (?) system. man xterm on it also refers to "-tm".

I'll be interested to know if it works. Unfortunately I don't have time to test it now.

Good luck,
Darrell
